Student visa to study in Spain for more than 90 days

It takes at least six weeks to process a student visa for studying in Spain, and many Spanish consulates will not accept student visa applications less than two months before your planned departure date. To be safe, it’s best to apply three months before you go.

 

What you’ll need to hand in

One original and one copy of a signed and completed Schengen Visa Application Form.

Your passport with one blank page to affix the visa. Note: Your passport must still be valid for at least one year from the date that you apply for your visa..

Proof of residence in the jurisdiction served by that consulate. In the United States, this can be a driver’s license, state ID card, or voter’s registration card.

Two recent, standard passport photos – one for each Schengen visa form (original and copy).  

Proof of admission to a study program in Spain, including the type of study and the academic center’s registration number with the Spanish Ministry of Education.

Proof of financial means – at least $350 per month – for the duration of your stay in Spain. This can be a copy of your latest bank statement, a notarized letter from your parents saying they will take on financial responsibility for you in Spain, or a letter from the academic center showing you have prepaid for accommodation and meals.

Proof of international medical insurance, with a minimum coverage of $37,000, or proof of travel/accidental insurance for the duration of your stay in Spain.

A non-refundable application fee of $100. Check with your local consulate about how to pay the fee. At the Chicago consulate, for example, you can only pay by money order.

 

 

In addition, if you are requesting a visa for six months or longer, you will need to include:

A recent official medical statement (within three months of your application date) stating that you are in good physical and mental health.

A certificate from the police authorities of all places where you have lived (for at least six months) in the last five years, showing that you have no police record.
