Residence for Internships in Spain
This is an option for all those who wish to live and work in Spain but did not obtain their university degree in the country.
Unlike the residence for job search, the Spanish residence for internships does not require the applicant to have completed their studies in Spain.
If you graduated in the last two years or are currently studying, in Spain or abroad, you could apply for this residence for internships if you meet all the requirements.
Requirements to Apply for a Residence for Internships
- Have obtained a higher education degree in the two years prior to the application date or be currently undertaking studies leading to a higher education degree in Spain or abroad.
- Sign an internship agreement or contract.
- The internships must be carried out in the same academic field and at the same qualification level as the education degree.
- Have private medical insurance or equivalent health coverage.
- Have sufficient economic means.
- Lack criminal records in previous countries of residence during the last five years.
It is important to highlight that these requirements can change or be slightly different depending on the person and their specific case, so we always recommend consulting with a lawyer.
What Should I Remember?
The deadline to receive a response is 30 days; if it is not resolved within this period, the authorization is understood to be granted by administrative silence.
What is the Validity of the Resolution?
The validity is 6 months or equal to the duration of the internship agreement, if it is shorter. However, an extension of an additional 6 months can be requested, so the validity of this residence can be 1 year in total, provided the extension is granted.
