Who it's for
You want to host international interns — students or recent graduates gaining structured experience in your company in Spain. The internship authorisation, built on the EU framework for students and trainees (Directive (EU) 2016/801), covers internships under a training agreement or an internship employment contract. Getting the agreement's content right is most of the work: it must genuinely connect the internship to the intern's field of study.
Key requirements
A signed internship agreement or internship employment contract.
An intern who is enrolled in studies, or obtained their qualification within the last two years.
An internship genuinely related to the intern's field of study.
Means of support and health coverage appropriate to the chosen route.
Requirements are summarised at a general level. Your lawyer confirms the exact list for your situation before anything is filed.
