Visado de estudiante

La duración del proceso depende de la embajada española en tu país de origen. Las embajadas requieren solicitar una cita con anticipación, así que dedícale tiempo a la solicitud. Una vez que hayas tenido tu cita y entregado tu solicitud en la embajada, debería tardar entre 2 y 4 semanas recibir una respuesta sobre tu solicitud de visa de estudiante.

Sí, proporcionamos los documentos necesarios que necesitarás de Speakeasy para solicitar tu visa de estudiante en España. Dado que los documentos adicionales requeridos para la solicitud dependen del país de donde provengas, te sugerimos que te pongas en contacto con la embajada en la ciudad en la que vas a presentar la solicitud. Para obtener más información, consulta nuestra página de visa de estudiante.

Se te permite ir a España hasta 14 días antes de que comience tu visa de estudiante.

Si ya eres uno de nuestros estudiantes o has estudiado en otra escuela de idiomas, puedes prolongar su visa de estudiante con Speakeasy por un mínimo de 3 meses.

Si ya eres uno de nuestros estudiantes o has estudiado en otra escuela de idiomas, puedes prolongar tu visado de estudiante con Speakeasy.

De Speakeasy necesitarás una carta de invitación; el recibo que indique que el curso se pagó en su totalidad; la acreditación del Instituto Cervantes y nuestro programa CASA.

El NIE es tu número de identificación aquí en España (Número de Identificación Extranjero) y lo puedes conseguir en la comisaría local. La recepción te dará un documento de ayuda para seguir los pasos.

Si te deniegan la visa, estaremos encantados de posponer tu fecha de inicio si deseas volver a solicitarla. De lo contrario, puedes enviarnos la carta de rechazo oficial y con esto, te reembolsaremos el precio total de tu curso de larga duración, restándole una tarifa administrativa de 250 €.

Sí, el pago del curso debe ser total y pagado por adelantado. De esta manera, tu plaza durante la duración de todo el curso estará reservada. También es un requisito de la embajada si estás solicitando una visa de estudiante.

Yes, you can apply for a Spain student visa after arriving in Spain. However you must submit your application when you have at least 30 days of legal residence remaining (e.g. on your tourist visa or short-stay Schengen visa). You can see a list of countries which need the Schengen visa before visiting Spain below.

Yes, you can bring your family with you on a Spain student visa.

The family members who may accompany you include:

• Your spouse or unmarried partner

• Children who are minors or who have a disability

In most cases, the student needs to get the student visa first and then the spouse can apply to accompany the student. But please note – each consulate has its own application requirements. We recommend you contact your nearest Spanish embassy or consulate for more information.

Yes and no. You’re not permitted to work right away with a long-stay student visa for Spain. You must find a sponsor first, and then you can get a part-time job while you complete your studies in Spain. After your study course finishes, you can apply separately for a full-time work visa if you wish to continue living and working in Spain – but you must have a sponsor. We recommend you contact the nearest consulate in your home country for more information.

Our student advisors recommend you apply for your Spain student visa at least 90 days before the start date of your course or study program.

The Spain student visa cost depends on the Spanish embassy or consular office where you apply. For example, in the Consulate of Spain in Los Angeles the cost is €160. You should check prices at the embassy or consulate nearest to you. You can find a global list of Spanish embassies and consulates here.

You need to prove your financial means as part of the Spain student visa application. The required amount is equivalent to 100% of Spain’s Public Multiple Effects Income Indicator (IPREM) for the duration of your stay. At the time of writing, the IPREM in Spain is €600 per month. So if your course of study is 12 months then you need to prove financial means equivalent or greater than €600 x 12 = €7,200. If you have already paid for accommodation covering the duration of your stay, this will be dedicated from the minimum amount required.

Yes, there is a Spain student visa application form online. You can find the Modelo EX00 application form here in Spanish. But please note – our student advisors have not seen one student successfully manage to apply for a Spanish student visa online. Bureaucracy in Spain is complex, and the laws are not always clear.

To save yourself time, we recommend you do one of two things:

• Apply for the Spain student visa at the nearest Spanish consulate in your home country

• Apply for the Spain student visa with the help of a lawyer or a Speakeasy BCN student advisor from within Spain

Type D student visas allow stays in Spain for between 6 months-24 months.

There exist two types:

• Type D (4-6 months)

• Open Type D (6-24 months)

The type D student visa for Spain does not allow you to get a Foreigner’s Identity Card (TIE). But the open type D student visa for Spain lets you stay for between 6-12 months and receive a TIE card which acts as a legal residence permit and ID card. Both types of Spain student visa can be renewed.

There exist two types of student visas in Spain:

• Type D (4–6 months)

• Open Type D (6-12 months)

You can extend either Spain student visa, so long as you meet requirements and continue with the same or related studies.

What’s the processing time for a student visa in Spain? The Spain student visa processing time is usually one month. If you’re applying from within Spain, the processing time can be as long as 3–6 months due to high demand among international students. IN the meantime, you will not be illegal in the country. Your visa status will be ‘in process’ – but we recommend you do not leave Spain until you have received your visa.
