Whether you want to pursue a degree, master&#8217;s, PhD, or language course, you will need a student visa if you are a non-EU citizen and your course lasts more than 90 days.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Student Visas<\/h2>\n<h3>Short-Term (up to 180 days)<\/h3>\n<p>For language courses, summer programmes, and short-term study. Does not require a residence card.<\/p>\n<h3>Long-Term (more than 180 days)<\/h3>\n<p>For degree programmes, master&#8217;s, and PhDs. Requires a student residence card (TIE) after arrival.<\/p>\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Acceptance letter from a recognised Spanish institution<\/li>\n<li>Valid passport<\/li>\n<li>Proof of financial means (&euro;600+\/month)<\/li>\n<li>Private health insurance<\/li>\n<li>Clean criminal record (if staying &gt; 180 days)<\/li>\n<li>Previous academic transcripts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Work Rights for Students<\/h2>\n<p>Since the 2025 immigration reform, international students can work up to <strong>30 hours per week<\/strong> while studying. This is a significant improvement that makes Spain even more attractive for students.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I switch from a student visa to a work visa?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. After completing your studies, you can switch to a work visa if you find a job. The 2025 reform simplified this process.<\/p>\n<h3>Can my family join me on a student visa?<\/h3>\n<p>Family reunification is possible for long-term students, but the financial requirements are higher.<\/p>\n<h3>How long can I stay after my studies?<\/h3>\n<p>You can stay up to 90 days after your course ends. During this time, you should apply for a work visa or other residence permit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elenamochales.es\/en\/contact\/\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#156E0F;color:#fff;padding:14px 32px;border-radius:5px;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;margin-top:20px\">Apply for Your Student Visa &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:0.8rem;color:#888;font-style:italic;padding-top:20px;border-top:1px solid #eee\">This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
