When coming to Valencia most people spend 3 to 6 weeks (depending on their cash situation) sitting in bars, living in a hostel and enjoying life to its fullest, forgetting about the reality of having to look for work. It took me about 3 weeks to realize that I was running out of money, so I decided to find a job as quickly as possible. Finding work in Valencia is not easy, as every day there are lots of people who decide to live here, apart from the students who need pocket money.

The first thing you should do when arriving to Valencia, if you plan to work here, is to get a N.I.E number. Without it you can´t work, can´t get medical assistence (unless you are covered privately) and no chance of getting a flat with a contract. It takes up to 2 weeks for the N.I.E number to be delivered at your place. As soon as you have the N.I.E, you can start working.
