In the past the only way to get a Student visa for Spain was to submit an application to a Consulate/Embassy of Spain, wait for it to come through, and then enter Spain once the visa was issued.
However, a new process of applications for a student visa has been approved by the Spanish Immigration Office. You can now convert to a Student visa for university studies while already being in Spain as a tourist.
These days many students choose to apply for a student visa in Spain after entering the country as a tourist so they don’t have to worry about taking an appointment or the delays that the Consulates/Embassies sometimes have.
For those already in Spain, the student visa application is processed through a lawyer, so you can apply 100% online without visiting Immigration.
