The requirements to study abroad in Spain are generally not the most difficult to fully meet. Non-European students may find some trouble gathering all that they need and finding information on the best choice for them, but European students can rest easy knowing that their process will be much faster and easier than anyone else. There is a reason so many students choose to study abroad in Spain, and it’s not just the beauty and the culture, but the accessibility to European students as well. 

Homologation is when a student essentially transfers their educational achievements for recognition in a different country. If a student has a high school diploma, for instance, they can choose to homologate it and make it valid in Spain. There is also the option for partial validation, which is for students who are already abroad and wish to continue their studies in Spain. The validation is for all the years completed, so any completed in Spain or any other country must also be homologated for recognition in Spain. 

With Spain becoming one of the most prolific countries, especially in Europe, for international students to flock to, there are many things that students need to keep in mind if they want to make the decision to study there. With that being said, one of the main requirements for a student seeking a Spanish visa is to show proof of insurance to receive the visa. Unless the student intends on staying for a temporary period of 90 days or less, in which case any other private or travel insurance would probably suffice. 

NIE stands for Número de Identidad de Extranjero. For those less familiar with the Spanish language, that basically means that it is a number that identifies a foreign visitor and gives them a number for identification. The NIE is needed for anyone who plans to stay in Spain for an extended period of time and wants to open a bank account or start working in the country. It is also necessary to purchase big things like properties and businesses as well, but it is very important for international students to get one for their longer stay in the country  

To answer the question very directly: yes, it is totally allowed to get a job in Spain with only a student visa. However, there are a few contingencies and specifications to keep in mind. For starters, a student visa only allows a student to work for 30 hours within a week. It would be important to note that if one wants to get a new card issued after August 2022, then the foreigner must prove that their job is compatible with their studies.

Valencia is Spain’s third largest city and one of the ones that is filled with the richest history and most varied cultures.

Valencia’s inviting nature is a great way for any student to accommodate themselves in a smooth and effortless manner. While a good education is important, students today are looking for more. A place to relax and maybe even learn something new in the process. 

With increasing numbers of young adults thirsting for adventure and new experiences overseas, Spain is a hot destination for fulfilling those requirements. Yet, there are many intricacies one must consider when making the final decision to ultimately spend a whole semester, or more, in Spain. Among them is the inclusion of the European Credit Transfer Union (ECTS), a credit system that allows for the same qualifications at any European university, including many in Spain.

Spain is generally incredibly welcoming to foreigners and anyone trying to try something new within their borders. There are, however, general requirements needed in order to be able to achieve this. This goes for students who wish to spend an extended period of time in Spain in association with their studies. Students have many opportunities with the student visa but there are general requirements needed and information to keep in mind when applying.
