Study in Spain

Student visas, extensions and switching to a residence and work permit when you finish: we plan your studies as the first step of your life in Spain.

Studies

Your education, your gateway

Studying in Spain is one of the most common ways to start a new life in the country. A student stay allows you to pursue higher education, vocational training and other recognized programs, and to combine them with work under certain conditions.

We plan your application from your home country or from Spain and, when you finish your studies, advise you on switching to a residence and work permit or a job-search permit.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Can I work on a student visa?

Yes. Current rules allow you to combine your studies with a job, as long as it does not interfere with your studies and stays within the permitted working hours.

Do I apply from the US or Canada?

Generally, yes: the student visa is applied for at the Spanish consulate with jurisdiction over your place of residence. In some cases you can also apply for a student stay while already in Spain legally.

What happens when I finish my studies?

You can switch to a residence and work permit, or apply for a permit to look for work or start a business. It is important to plan ahead so you do not lose your legal status.
