Applying for a student visa in Spain as a tourist, is now possible! 

Not every student who comes to Spain thought of studying here in the first place. Many people come to Barcelona as tourists with the illusion of staying. However, After spending a few days in this amazing city, it is hard not to fall in love, we get it. It happens a lot, Barcelona is well-positioned when it comes to universities and study programs.

Therefore, for a non-EU foreigner to study in Spain, he needs to apply for a study visa prior to entering Spain or during the first 60 days of arrival to Spain, at the government delegation or Sub-delegation of the Spanish province in which you are going to study. 

To sum up, you now as a foreign student have two ways to apply for a student permit:

  • Before entering Spain: through the Spanish Consulate in the country of origin.

  • After entering in Spain: once you are in Spain and have provided that it is within the legal period of stay.

Who should apply for a study visa in Spain?

All foreign citizens who wish to study in Spain for more than 90 days must apply to obtain a visa.

When should you apply for a student visa in Spain?

You must apply for this visa, during the legal period of stay (60 days from entry into Spain). That is to say before your legal residence in the country expires.The request must be submitted at least one month before the expiration date of this situation.

Where should I file the visa application?

We offer visa application processing directly from our office. We review all required documents and assist in preparing the necessary immigration forms for a seamless application process.
