A well-packed suitcase makes the first days abroad a lot easier. This checklist helps students prepare for an internship or school trip to Valencia, so they arrive relaxed and ready to start.

Documents

A valid ID card or passport.
For EU students: the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
The insurance details arranged by your school or Erasmus+ project.
A copy of your learning or training agreement and your host company”s address.
Emergency contact numbers, saved on your phone and written on paper.

Clothes for the Valencian climate

Valencia is sunny most of the year. Summers are hot, often above 30 °C, and winters are mild during the day. Evenings in winter can feel chilly, and many homes have little heating, so bring layers.

Light, breathable clothes for warm days.
A warm sweater or jacket for winter evenings.
Sunglasses, a cap and sunscreen, also in spring and autumn.
Comfortable shoes: you will walk a lot.

For your internship

Work clothes that fit your sector, such as smart clothes for an office or safety shoes for a workshop.
Check with the host company whether they provide a uniform.
A small notebook for new tasks and Spanish words.

Handy extras

A bank card that works abroad. Spain uses the euro, and contactless payment is common.
Your phone charger. Spain uses the same plugs as most of continental Europe; students from the UK or Ireland need an adapter.
Any medication you need, with a copy of the prescription.
A reusable water bottle.

Tip: do not overpack. Host families and residences usually have a washing machine, and Valencia has plenty of shops for anything you forget.
