If you are from Europe and you want to do an internship or study in another European country, you can apply for an Erasmus + grant. The amount of the grants is adjusted to the country you are going to. The grants are provided through universities and colleges. If you are interested in an Erasmus + grant, please contact the International Office at your own university or college. Among other things, they can inform you about the procedures and deadlines of the Erasmus grant.

The answer is no. However, you do have an advantage if you control the basic knowledge of the Spanish language. If this knowledge is not under control, but you still want to pick up the language quickly, an intensive language course is the right solution.

If you are going to do an internship in Spain, it is not always necessary to apply for a NIE-number. There are two situations where you will need to apply for a NIE, namely: when you receive an internship fee from a Spanish company or when you stay longer than three months consecutively in Spain. However, this is legally required but not always respected. When you have applied for a NIE-number it is valid forever, so if you have plans to stay in Spain after your internship, you do not have to apply for the NIE again.
