Once the visa has been issued, the student is given a Foreigner Identification Number (NIE), which will belong to him/her during his/her entire stay in Spain and will not change, even if the visa is extended or modified to another type of residence.
Now it remains to obtain a student card (TIE). If at the time of visa approval there are 6 months or less left until the end of the visa, it is not possible to obtain the card.
To apply and take prints for the card you will need:
Confirmation of pre-registration (cita previa)
Completed EX17 application form (it is here: Solicitud de TIE EX17)
Passport and photocopy of its main page + photocopy of the visa page
One colour photograph with a white background measuring 26 by 32 mm. Visa photo is not suitable
Proof of payment of state duty Model 790, Code 012.
You can fill in and print the application form here: Tasa790_012.
