The possibility of a part-time job depends on the type of study:

Language course students: The resident card for language courses does not give the right to work. However, the path to employment is not closed. If you sign a preliminary contract with an employer, you can apply for an additional work permit at the Department of Police for Foreigners, which will be valid until the expiration of your resident card. With this permit, you can work up to 30 hours per week.

University students: If you are studying on a university program, your residence permit includes the right to work part-time, which will allow you to immerse yourself in the local culture and gain valuable work experience during your studies.

Although having an account with a local Spanish bank can be quite convenient, it is not a mandatory requirement for applying for a residence permit. Bank accounts from various foreign countries, such as Kazakhstan, Georgia, Turkey, Serbia, and so on, are accepted.
