Answer

Is it possible to work legally in Mallorca if you arrive without papers?

For people arriving without papers, legal work can be very hard to access in Mallorca. Community leaders are calling for temporary work permits linked to sectors that need staff, such as hotels, gastronomy and agriculture. The idea is to reduce undeclared work and give people a clear path into the labour market.
