Working in Ibiza FAQ
Getting to Ibiza
Ibiza is very easy to get to and there are direct flights from lots of airports in Europe. You can also travel from mainland Spain via boat.
Language
Spanish is the official language of Spain, and although there is an international mix of people in Ibiza from all around the world for most jobs do not require any Spanish skills. But we highly recommend trying to learn at least basic Spanish, this will improve your employment prospects and also make the experience living and working here much easier.
Best Time to Go
The best time to get jobs in Ibiza is in early May and then again in early/mid-June. This is when the summer season is just building up and is the best time to settle in, as things aren’t too crazy, like in July/August and you can network and find your feet, much easier. You also stand a better chance of finding accommodation for the duration of your stay if this isn’t included in the job package.
Agencies Offering Working Holidays
Some International companies offer working holiday packages where you pay a fee for their services. This generally includes accommodation, job hunting help, the chance to meet other people and also social events. Always check reviews for companies though as they can be very mixed.
Is it Hard to Find Work in Ibiza?
Ibiza is a very popular destination, who wouldn’t want to spend summer or a prolonged period living here! If you know basic Spanish and German you will boost your chances of finding work here.
Visa, Eligibility and Requirements
