• Authorization from your parents or guardians (if you are a minor and not travelling with them)
• No criminal record in Spain or previous countries of residence during the last five years (if the duration of your stay exceeds six months)
• Not suffering from diseases that may have serious public health repercussions (if the duration of your stay exceeds six months)

Steps

1. Apply for and obtain an acceptance letter from a Spanish educational institution or an internship program approved by a recognized Spanish institution.
2. Submit a student visa application at the Spanish consulate or embassy in your home country.
3. Upon arrival in Spain, apply for a student residency permit, known as the TIE, within 30 days.

Additional information

• The processing time for a student visa may vary depending on the consulate and the time of year. However, applicants are advised to submit their applications well in advance, preferably three months before the intended start date of the internship.
• The Spanish internship visa is valid for the duration of the internship. If your internship has a hosting agreement, the visa can be valid for a maximum of 6 months. However, if your internship is based on a trainee contract, the visa validity can be extended up to 1 year. For internships exceeding 6 months, you may apply for a Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) from the Foreign Nationals’ Office. It’s valid for 1 year and you can renew it in Spain before it expires without applying for a new visa.
