In this video I discuss what the best options are for an American who wants to live in Spain. There are certain jobs that are better suited for an American especially if they don't speak Spanish. Here I go over the job and the options available to you to get a job in Spain and start being able to support yourself.

Awesome video! This information is extremely helpful and needed when planning to live in Spain. I noticed that you are the only person that gives such great detailed information in your videos Great job!👍🏽😊
Thank you so much. I know what's it's like to travel alone trying to search for information so I hope to make it easier for others.
Hey Kai I just moved to Alicante and would love to pic your brain on some things you shared. Is there a way to
Communicate with you if you’d be open and willing. I’m from the states and this is my first overall trip to Europe in general but would love to make Spain a long term thing. Thanks in advance
Hello thanks for the video! I have a friend that lives in Nerja, Malaga and I’m going to visit in November with the plans on moving there. I had no idea that I could teach English there! Wow thank you so much!
I'm glad I could help 😄❤️
Thanks for this! I am actually looking at spending a half a year or year in Spain (Tenerife) to be with my partner and learn the language. This was very helpful.
Hello. I'm happy it help. Tenerife is very beautiful. I hope you both enjoy it!
Thanx for this!!!
You're welcome ☺️
We love you tooooooo 😘
Haha thanks I can feel the love! 😄😘
Thanks for this video I’m looking to move to Spain next year and was debating if I should become certified as an English teacher on top of my career very informative ♥️
I'm glad I could help. It's definitely something to consider since people are always looking for teachers here, especially with so many businesses closing due to COVID. I'll be doing more videos about teaching English here. You also might find this video interesting I did about teaching in a public school vs a language academy. 😊

I needed this info. Thank you sooo much!
You're welcome ☺️
Lol great vid but....were there other options other than teaching english🙃
Excellent info. You are quite helpful. Many thanks Kai.
You're welcome my friend ☺️.
@@Kaisforeignadventures I’m on my way to Tenerife next week. Did you get your international driving permit through AAA before going? Are they strict about that there?
@@snc4278 I never got my international driving permit as it's only good for the first 6 months. I wasn't driving in Spain around that time so I had to get a Spanish drivers license. However, yes if you get pulled over you will have to show that you have it.
so upon getting approved and accepted to teach online, did they help you with getting a visa?
I didn't start out teaching online. I taught in a school, but I had to go to school to get the teaching certificate. That school did help me get the visa, but I don't know if an online school will be able to do that, but now that Spain has a digital nomad visa it's a lot easier to get if you work for an online school that operates outside of Spain.
Thank you, does this still apply? I’m watching this now in 2024.
Hello. Yes it still applies now so don't worry.
@@Kaisforeignadventures thank you!
Bro, I need your help with trying to get a job in Spain. I speak spanish my parents are mexican and speak Spanish every day. I want to travel to spain but I don't know how to start. I thought of calling airports can asking them if I could get a job. Unfortunately, I don't have long distance calling service. What do you reccommened I do. I just to work there for the summer. I am currently a college student. My passion is traveling and exploring new culture.
If I have a Masters certification for example (Management in food quality) from a Spanish university what are the opportunities then?
You would definitely have opportunities in the tourism sector. That's one of the most popular positions next to teaching English.
this was really helpful, ive been wanting to move there but was hesistant due to possibly not finding work.. do you have other tips of finding more work if you dont want to do english?
Sure check out this video

Hello, my daughter graduate with teaching degree and she also did ESL here in spain but she is indian and looking online teaching job in spain right now so please give some tips so she can find job ...it will great help
Here are two sites that have a ton of online teaching jobs. They say how much they offer and the requirements they are looking for. Many want native speakers from U.S. Canada and the UK, but not all. They are constantly updated too.
The first site is oetjobs.com/
And the second one is www.google.com/amp/s/www.goodairlanguage.com/teaching-english-online-2/amp/
I've used the second one myself in the past. You can apply to all the companies on the website itself and the second one you can search by native or non-native and by country. I hope this helps ❤️
I am Puerto Rican, I speak English pretty well but I have a slight accent(Spanish being my native language). Do I qualify to teach as an assistant?? Since in effect, we are American Citizens.
Yes you do. If your passport is American (which it is) then yes. You won't have any problems.
@@Kaisforeignadventures Do you know of any Teacher Assistants that have achieved Permanent Residency?
@@antonioarcano7989 I don't know anyone personally, but it's possible through a process called student visa modification. I'll probably do a video on it listing the steps. This is how you can change your student visa to become a long-term resident.
@@Kaisforeignadventures Ok, thank you. there almost no info about it.
@@antonioarcano7989 yeah it's very hard to find a lot of info about the various options available, but I'll do what I can to share these options because there are many.
I will love to teach english in spain, how do I get a job or find a company that can sponsor me to start teaching in spain
It's very difficult to get sponsored in Spain. Are you an EU citizen?
Sorry I got a bit confused, so u got ur teaching certificate in US and the job u got as online English teacher got u an EU work visa? or u are staying & working with student visa? Also, I looked at some English teaching jobs and they don't seem to want to offer it to non-EU citizens.
I got my teaching certificate in Spain, but the school is from the U.S. i got it from the international TEFL academy. The reason it's difficult for non-EU citizens is because they have to show why they hired a non-eu citizen over an EU-citizen because they have priority, but if you go through a language assistant program, or get a student visa they will hire you because you will already be legally able to work and they don't have to do any additional paperwork. Most TEFL schools offer visa assistance if they have Branches In Spain.
I need a job about teacher and also I'm searching a other for teaching other languages in Spain
Check the lingo bongo site for other types of teaching jobs.
I want to live in Spain but I am not a teacher. I know English but never taught before... do I need to go to college for this kind of work?
You need a teaching certificate that usually has 120 hours or more. Some schools may not require a degree but there are many that require at least a bachelor's degree in addition to the teaching certificate.
Hi kai! Is there any possibility of getting work in Spain for mba graduates, if so pls respond, thanks
I also have an MBA and to be honest it really just depends on two things. 1. What kind of job you are looking for and 2. If you are an EU or non-EU citizen. They don't really put as much emphasis on degrees like the U.S. or other countries 🥺
@@Kaisforeignadventures Thank you for the information kai but I'm about to come to Spain for my bba and mba studies, so after I graduate from the university there is there any chance to get jobs there?, I mean I'm not looking for very high quality jobs, is there any job chances for marketing management, sales management, and finance, and can you pls tell which jobs are easy to get and how hard is it to get pr in Spain
Hello! Could you please mention any websites where they maybe look for teachers? Legit ones that actually look over your resume and consider hiring you haha. (Not mil anuncios)
Hahaha. You can try lingo bongo or profesoringles . Net. The second site is actually how i found my first teaching job and found students to give private classes on the side.
Hey bro! I want to teach online and was wondering what visa do I need to teach online? Also, do I need to keep renewing it?
Unfortunately there is no visa for online teaching. People who live here and teach online usually do it illegally. However, there is good news. Soon Spain will introduce a visa for people who work online. It's not yet available, but if you would like to learn more about the digital nomad visa you can check it out here

Hi Kai! I just found your channel, thanks for all the great content! I am desperate to find a way to get to Spain lol (I’m also from Los Angeles). I was wondering if you went straight into teaching after the TEFL academy? Did you have to leave Spain in order to get the visa renewal after the TEFL course? Thank you so much!
Hello 🤙🏽. The TEFL school helps with the visa process before you start the class. Also I didn't teach straight away once I finished. I had to look for work. It didn't take very long though because the school provided all the resources needed to find work.
@@Kaisforeignadventures Thanks for the info and quick reply! Still doing some research to see what my best way of getting over there is! So far I’m debating between the TEFL academy course in Madrid or becoming an auxiliar
@@jocolcris Those are both good options. The auxiliar is good because they will find the job for you, but the downside is that usually you can't choose where you will be teaching, but other than that they do all the work for you.
@@Kaisforeignadventures Nice! Thanks for that insight, I really appreciate it!
@@jocolcris No problem 🤙🏽😄
yo how about English jobs for those that stay in the country and become irregulars ? lol are there still opportunities available ?
Yes but it's more difficult. There are some schools that will pay under the table. Another option is to give private classes.
@@Kaisforeignadventures thanks that is good to know ;)
@@davidgarcia-rv3fs don't mention it.
Which school did you take course with to get ur student visa & do u need to pay for accommodations in advance to get ur student visa? I'm trying to figure out the cost etc.. I can only stay in spain for 90 days so I'm trying to figure out how to extend it. Thank you very very much for your help. Much Appreciate it 💗
I went through the international TEFL academy and yes they did provide accommodations for as long as the course lasted. Unfortunately for me I signed up late and there was no more accomodations left so I had to find Mt own. I did a video about this. You can check it out if you like. I used a site called vrbo. If you go to this video and look in the description box you can find a list of sites to find housing.
czcams.com/video/ksIIGDDt9To/video.html
@@Kaisforeignadventures thank you very much for the quick response. ❤️🙏 I am looking into your suggestions. It looks like you have to prepay for accommodations in advance in order to get a student visa. So if the visa is for 1 year they want everything paid for when u ask for a student visa. Is that correct? Is there any limitation on monthly earned income with a student visa? Thank you again. ❤️
@@zohayazdani00 when you get a student visa you have to show that you have enough money to support yourself during your stay. You can work up to 20 hours a week maximum. You don't have to pay for everything up front, but you do have to show that you have accomodations. It can be anything. Living with a friend, finding a room, getting an apartment etc. Usually you will have to pay something up front to get any sort of accomodations, but how much depends on the type of accomodations you find. Some will require six months of rent upfront while others only first months rent and a security deposit.
@@Kaisforeignadventures thank you so much for your help. Best wishes ❤️
do you think its possible for a new grad to get a software/IT jobs in spain?
thanks!
Yes. It's not as stringent as it is in the U.S.
@@Kaisforeignadventures thanks! also, i was wondering if its possible to do side jobs/frelance (online - no ties to spain) while living there on a work visa just for extra money?
@@peachgumdrop8067 They are in the process of making a visa specifically for that. Right now you have to have a job in Spain if you have a work visa but you can have a side job that's not Spain related while you have your main job. The new visa will be for people who only do remote work with companies outside of Spain. You can check that video out here.

Do you make good money?
Jesus Christ is coming back very very soon please repent and turn to Him because He loves you and He will accept you. Let the Bible be your daily guide
