A Guide to Interning Abroad in Spain

Prepare for an Internship

Set goals

If you want to get more out of your internship in Spain, consider setting some goals! Don’t worry if yours looks different than anyone else's—they’re meant for you. Here are a few basics to get the ideas going.

  • Figure out and focus on something you learned in the classroom that you want professional practice in. Take extra time with it, if possible to refine the skill.
  • Consider why you’d like to travel to Spain specifically and see if you can pull something cultural or native to Spain to connect to on a professional and personal level.
  • Meet and maintain relationships both within the internship and out. Broaden your circle and perspective.

Understand the benefits

Taking the time to head to Spain and Intern there provides plenty of advantages wherever you’re placed. The basic takeaways are:

  • Growth professionally and personally. Gain valuable international work and life experience throughout Spain.
  • Cultural insights every day. Immerse yourself in Spanish culture and enhance your global perspective in a professional and personal setting.
  • Pick up the language. Improve your Spanish language proficiency at any given point throughout the day.
  • Make great connections. Build a global network of professional contacts and grow professionally. Don’t forget to make some connections beyond your working hours!

Things to know

As you gear up for your adventure in Spain, here are a few key things to keep in mind before starting your internship:

  • Visa requirements - Ensure you understand and comply with Spanish visa regulations, as they vary depending on the length and type of internship. Research the specific requirements for your situation.
  • Accommodation and living expenses - Housing options depend on your internship type. If not provided, explore affordable options, as Spain is generally cheaper than the U.S. Budgeting ahead is key.
  • Language skills - Basic Spanish proficiency enhances your experience and shows respect to locals. Learning the essentials will help with daily interactions.
  • Cultural etiquette - Familiarize yourself with Spanish workplace norms, particularly respecting hierarchy. In social settings, cheek kisses are customary—start with the right cheek among friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Applying for an internship in your field requires considerations. You need to choose a region or city, understand the program’s scope, and determine if it matches your preferences. Compare different organizations to find the best internship.

Students or graduates outside of the EU, EEA, or EFTA need a visa to intern in Spain. They can apply for either a Student Visa or Authorization of Residence for professional internships. Contact the Spanish Consulate for the requirements.

Some internships in Spain are paid, albeit paying only a few hundred euros monthly. The good news is that some unpaid internships come with inclusions like transportation or accommodation, depending on the company.

An NIE is required for paid internships in Spain, allowing EU and non-EU students to land a placement. Without it, they can’t obtain a Social Security code, which is necessary to receive a salary.

My experience of a lifetime

December 05, 2025by: Will Peters - United StatesProgram: Internships in Seville, Spain - Adelante Abroad
8

My experience with Adelante Abroad in Sevilla was truly unforgettable, and something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Overall, the program was awesome and gave me the chance to grow both personally and professionally. From the start, the customer service was excellent. Every time I had a question or concern, the Adelante team responded quickly and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. I applied late, so I didn’t have many options when it came to my placement or housing. Even so, the pickup upon arrival went smoothly, and I appreciated how organized the transition was. When I got to my shared apartment, I was initially a little let down because three people were already living there and were not in the same situation as me. Luckily, they turned out to be really kind, and we got along great. My room itself was comfortable, and overall, the living situation worked out well. My internship was one of the highlights of my program. I worked near the water mainly assisting people with kayaking and paddle boarding at Club Deportivo Triana, which was such a unique and enjoyable experience. The staff there were wonderful since they were flexible, supportive, and always willing to help with anything I needed. Adelante also checked in with me from time to time, which was reassuring and made me feel taken care of in case any issues came up. Socially, I had to take the initiative to go out and meet people, since there wasn’t much organized for participants in that aspect. As someone who is naturally social, this wasn’t a problem for me, but for others, it might be a challenge. Still, living in Sevilla made it easy to explore. Everywhere you walk, there's something beautiful or unique to discover. It’s truly an incredible city. Overall, I’m really grateful for this experience. Despite a few small challenges, Adelante Abroad gave me an opportunity that I will remember forever, and I would absolutely recommend the program to anyone looking for an authentic and meaningful internship abroad.
