Hi all,
I am new here and I am coming to Tenerife in February, I hold a UK Passport and I am looking to work there. I have booked a Hotel for one month in Puerto De La Cruz and I am hoping the process is more simple than appears here.
Does anybody know if there is a way of applying for NIE prior to getting into Tenerife? Also I am willing to do any LEGAL work to start and work my way up. If anybody knows of good places to start looking I would appreciate the assistance, I can clean, work the bar, love working with the public, sales experience and just want something different from UK. I visited Estartit when I was a child and LOVED spain, I chose Tenerife because I am under the assumption it is an all year round destination, with better prospects of long term work, rather than seasonal.
Is it permitted to apply for NIE from a hotel? Is it necessary to apply before looking for and/or starting work? Or is there a small time you can legally work, prior to applying giving you time to settle? Perhaps one month or so? As by this time I would have needed to find permanent accommodation.
Maybe these have been answered elsewhere, but I am on my first hour and cannot find anything recent. I only speak basic Spanish, but I am brushing up on this over the next few months.
Thanks in advance.
