What possibilities are there for work on the Costa Blanca?
There are plenty of foreigners working on the Costa Blanca for Spanish companies and on their own account. The position is very straightforward for E.E.C.nationals who receive a work contract from their employer and a monthly pay slip (nomina). The employer pays their social security which covers health and pension rights and will arrange their enrolment in the Spanish social security system. All workers need a social security number and the familiar N.I.E. number if they are foreigners. The self employed need a fiscal license to carry out their activity, to keep a set of books, and make a quarterly and annual tax return. They pay social security as self-employed people (autonomos). Costa Blanca employment focuses on tourism and construction with every kind of associated service. Languages are useful.
