FAQs:
Student Visas for Studying in Spain
If you are a non-European Union citizen planning to study in Spain, you will generally need a student visa. The visa type depends on the duration of your course:
Studying in Spain for up to 90 days: You need a short-term student visa. This visa allows you to stay for the course duration but does not allow you to work or apply for a Foreigner Identity Card (TIE).
Studying in Spain for between 90 and 180 days: You will need a Student Visa Type C. With this visa, you cannot apply for a Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) and are not allowed to work legally in Spain.
Studying in Spain for more than 180 days: You will need a Student Visa Type D. Additionally, after arrival, you must apply for a Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) within 30 calendar days. This card grants legal residence and may allow certain rights during your stay.
Visa Application Process
Applications must be submitted at the Spanish consulate or embassy in your home country, typically between 30 and 90 days before your course begins.
Required documents usually include:
An official acceptance letter from your school
Proof of financial means to support yourself during your stay
Valid health insurance
Proof of accommodation
Valid passport and completed application forms
Some documents might need to be translated into Spanish and legalized or apostilled.
Important Notes
Visa processing times vary, so apply early to avoid delays.
For long-term visas (over 180 days), registering for your Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) within 30 days of arrival is mandatory
- Please note that visa policies and procedures can vary depending on the applicant’s country. We strongly recommend checking with the Spanish embassy or consulate in your home country for the most current and specific information.
Ailespañol Visa Policy:
If your visa application is denied, you will receive a refund of the amount paid minus a €200 processing fee. To request the refund, you must provide the official rejection letter from the consulate, which should include your personal details and the type of visa applied for.

Art class student number: group classes typically have between 3 to 9 students, with a maximum of 10
