Yes, it is possible to come to Spain as a student and, after completing your studies, change your study permission to a resident and employment authorization. However, to do this, you must meet the following criteria:

• Consistent residence in Spain for a period of at least three years.
• Not having received grants or subsidies from governmental or commercial entities; • Completing studies or research work.
• Spain’s lack of criminal history.
• Having a written agreement between the employer and employee that is for a full-time position and has a minimum term of one year.
• Financial resources are necessary for employers to hire.
• Possessing the education and, where necessary, the professional certifications necessary to practice one’s vocation.

The residency permit that enables non-EU nationals to stay in Spain while attending public or private educational institutions, working there as researchers, or taking part in training programs is known as a student visa.

You will be given a student visa for the duration of the education you have chosen in Spain.

In your home country, you can submit an application for a student visa. However, if you enter Spain as a tourist, you can also apply for a study permit there.

Being in compliance with the deadline set forth by law is the most crucial prerequisite for submitting an application for license to study in Spain. It is crucial to submit the application to the relevant Foreign Office as soon as possible—ideally, two months following your arrival in Spain. That is, if you still have at least one month left of your permitted stay in Spain. Your application will not be accepted by the Office if this deadline is not met.

• Being admitted to a Spanish centre and to have paid the tuition fee for the studies to be carried out.
• Having financial means to keep you unemployed during your studies (about 600 euros per month).
• Having a private health insurance and do not have contagious diseases.
• Not having a criminal record in your country of origin.

We’ll concentrate on the benefits of the migration debate in this query. The following perks will be reported by the student visa:

1. You can bring certain family members with you: Under Spanish law, a person may be granted a study visa and this benefit may then be extended to certain family members. These relatives may come with you for the duration of your study authorization without having to enroll in classes in Spain.
2. It will let you stay in Spain for an amount of time that is more than 90 days, which is the longest time a visitor may stay throughout the entire Schengen region.
3. You can travel to other nations that are a part of the Schengen area with the study residence permit without having to apply for a tourist visa there.
4. If you later become a resident of Spain, 50% of the period you spent on the study visa will be taken into account when determining whether you qualify for EU Long-Term Residency in Spain.
5. If you have a study residence permit, you can apply for a special work visa for students, which will allow you to pursue part-time employment opportunities.
6. It is possible to transition from the status of study stay to that of residency and work independently or on behalf of others.

It is very important that you have good prior and specialized advice before you begin to gather the necessary documentation and that you have the help of a professional who guides you through this procedure because both the acquisition of the student visa and the authorization of the student stay are Spanish bureaucratic procedures that require the fulfillment of a number of specific requirements.
