Spain Student Visa
for Indians 🇮🇳

Yes — private health insurance for the full duration of your stay is mandatory. The policy must be from an insurer authorised in Spain and cover a minimum of €30,000 in medical expenses. Standard Indian travel insurance or university health schemes are not sufficient; you need a policy specifically designed for Spain student visa holders.

Sufficient funds to support yourself — approximately €600–700 per month as a reference. Bank statements for the past 3–6 months are required. Parental or family sponsorship letters with supporting Indian bank documentation are widely accepted. All Indian bank documents may require a sworn Spanish translation.

Spanish consulates in India sometimes request additional supporting evidence from Indian applicants due to elevated rates of incomplete or inconsistent documentation in past applications. Being thorough with your financial evidence, ensuring all documents are apostilled and translated, and having a clear study plan significantly improves your application. An immigration specialist can help you present the strongest possible file.

Yes — if you have lived in any country other than India for more than 6 months in the last 5 years, you may need to provide a criminal record certificate from that country in addition to your Indian police clearance certificate. All foreign criminal record certificates must also be apostilled and sworn-translated into Spanish.

Once your visa is stamped, travel to Spain and attend your TIE card appointment at the Oficina de Extranjería within 30 days of arrival. Also register with your local ayuntamiento (empadronamiento). Indian students who received additional pre-departure scrutiny often find the in-Spain process straightforward; our immigration specialists support you at every step.
