Visa Renewal

Conditions for renewal

• Accredited documentation that states you have completed the previous course (Certificado de aprovechamiento)

• Certified copy of your enrolment application with a number of credits equal or exceeding previous studies

• An account in the Spanish bank stating economic means for the period of the whole stay

• Medical insurance

You can start the application process two months before your student card expires.

It is better to apply before the end of the student card, even though the student will have another 90 days to apply if he/she has not made the deadline. It is important to remember: even if the student submits the documents in the 90 days after the end of the visa, they will not count towards the extension.
