Route-fit and enrolment memo
A written view of whether the study route fits, the programme type (university, FP, or language school), the means level expected, and likely blockers.
Spain Student Visa
Spain student visa, from enrolment to TIE.
For non-EU students admitted to a Spanish university, higher-vocational (FP), or secondary programme - we prepare the enrolment and means evidence, health insurance, Article 57 work-rights position, consulate filing, and the TIE.
First call: leave with route fit, the means evidence consulates expect at 100% IPREM, health-insurance and enrolment gaps, the Article 57 position, family scope, and the next decision mapped.

What you get
What we prepare for your student visa.
Enrolment and means come first. We prepare the economic-means evidence, health insurance, work-rights classification, family scope, and the residence steps with you, so the file is ready before the consulate appointment.
Economic-means evidence map
A practical plan for evidencing 100% IPREM in means for you, plus 75% for the first family member and 50% for each additional, in the format your consulate accepts.
Insurance and document list
Health insurance for the study period, criminal record and medical certificate where required, apostille, translation, and family records organised early.
Work-rights and TIE handoff
The Article 57 position for qualifying higher-study students, entry, the TIE card, and the path from studies to a work or residence route stay visible after filing.
Plan to 100% IPREM
Consulates look for means of at least 100% of IPREM for the student, with set percentages added per family member, so the funds file is built to that level.
Higher-study students may work
Article 57 gives automatic compatible work to Article 52.1(a) higher-study authorisations, generally up to 30 hours per week; language-school students do not get that automatic right.
Cover before the appointment
Health insurance from an insurer authorised in Spain, valid for the whole stay, must be in place for the consulate, not arranged afterwards.
Studies can lead to work
Time on a study authorisation can lead into a work or self-employment route, so the longer plan is worth mapping from the start.

Common questions
Questions before you engage.
What is included in the Spain student visa service?
The service covers route fit, enrolment review, economic-means evidence at 100% IPREM, health-insurance planning, work-rights classification, the consulate-visa file, TIE tracking, and studies-to-work planning. Tax advice remains with the relevant specialist.
How much money do I need to show?
Students evidence at least 100% of IPREM in means - about EUR 600 per month or EUR 7,200 per year - plus 75% of IPREM for the first accompanying family member and 50% for each additional. We help map the evidence to the consulate format.
Can I work on a Spain student visa?
Under RD 1155/2024, Article 52.1(a) higher-study authorisations get automatic compatible work under Article 57, generally up to 30 hours per week. Language-school and other study categories do not get that broad automatic right. We map your position before you rely on it.
What health insurance do I need?
RD 1155/2024 art. 35 asks for health insurance with an insurer authorised in Spain, with benefits similar to the Spanish public system's common basic services, valid for the whole stay. If you work and register with Social Security, that registration meets the insurance requirement (art. 57.5). We help map it before the appointment.
Can a student visa lead to residence or work?
Yes. Time spent studying can lead into a work or self-employment route under the rules in force. We map the timing before your authorisation ends.
