You DO need a permit both for residence and for work; that's required for all of the European Union, and will be valid for ALL of the European Union. Some European countries have special regulations about that, so be careful. But once you're a legal immigrant to one of the EU states, you'll have little problems in other ones. (I say "little" because immigration laws vary from one EU country to the other. Please don't think the European Union is something like the USA, with federal states and "one nation" under whatever. We all speak different languages, and there are different legal rules in each country.)

You need a permit, and they are difficult to come by, as are jobs, these days. Spain just recently entered a recession. A lot depends, of course, on what you want to do. Here's a list of organizations that help place people in jobs. The good ones will place you, make sure you have a work permit, and help you locate housing (as in, they give you a list of housings, and you pick, interview, and decide on one or none and find your own, but they'll get you started.) I don't actually know any of these companies, I just did a search and kept the url. http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-hptb6&p=work%20in%20Spain&type=

Short-term work in Spain

Short-term work in Spain?
Hi, Have roughly 3 months to kill, and am considering going somewhere in Spain and finding short-term employment there. I speak good Spanish, as well as Italian and English fluently; I'm an EU citizen; I've got a TEFL certificate and experience as a TEFL teacher. Hell, I've even got an MA...I just want to do something with myself for these upcoming months rather than waste time in my home country. Would I be able to simply walk into a bar/language school/restaurant/hotel and find work? My city of preference would be Barcelona, but am open to Madrid, Valencia, whatever - don't know if I'm more likely to find work in one rather than the other. Any help guys/girls? :) Thanks

You should have no problem getting bar work here, but the wages will be less than somewhere like the UK. You will probably have to work long hours and at times when people want to be served. Many bars here stay open until the last customer goes home. If you are from the UK you could try the area around Torrevieja. There are more Brits there than Spaniards. Everywhere you go there are bars and restaurants. It isn´t a very classy place though. I live in rural Spain. I doubt you´d get work here as there aren´t the jobs. Barcelona & Madrid may be expensive for accommodation but best of luck anyway.

I don't think you do have to pay tax when you work offshore, you don't when you work on cruise ships, so long as you have your paperwork in order and can prove this is the case, it might be OK. However, I would do as much research on this as you can or call and speak to an accountant in the UK to find out your rights.
