Valencia

Unfortunately, the coronavirus is still active. Because the virus brings much uncertainty, we like to clarify what this can mean for you and your internship abroad. 

The process always starts with a down payment (€150, -). Our general terms and conditions remain applicable to this down payment in this situation. The other costs will only be charged when there is a match between you and the internship company and when the internship is approved by your study program. If the internship cannot take place due to the coronavirus, we will do anything to find a suitable solution. In this way, the internship may be able to continue in part (online). And often the internship can be postponed to another period, in consultation with you, your educational institution and the internship company.

If the internship period cannot be rescheduled, you can often rely on your insurance. Whether you will be compensated for the costs incurred differs per insurance and coverage. If the request is rejected, we will meet our students by reducing the restmediation costs by 50%.

If you still have any questions, please contact us.

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.

An internship compensation in Valencia is not obvious, but some companies do offer it. The internship compensation varies per company and industry in which the student will be active. This compensation varies between €200,- to €650,- per month.

The costs of living in Valenica are different for every person. The advantage is that if you are from another European country than Spain you are entitled to an Erasmus + grant if you do your internship in Valencia. Students are able to live more than fine with the following expenses. 

Rent: €500,-

Subway membership: €20,-

Food: €300, -

Remaing: €50, -

Total: €880,- per month

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.

Students with an experience abroad on their CV are more likely to find a good job and are more satisfied with their job. In addition, you will build a network abroad that will be useful later on. You will also get to know a different culture, language and lifestyle. In any case, you will develop at a personal level, your independence will grow. In short, it will bring you many benefits. You can always contact us and discuss your doubts with one of our internship experts.

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.
