The visa application alone can take several months, which is why the Go! Go! Espa\u00f1a team recommends allowing 9 to 12 months to comfortably gather all your documentation.<\/li><li><strong>Can I come to Spain as a tourist and then decide to study long-term?<\/strong> <br \/>Yes, in certain cases this is possible for courses taking place at an accredited university, whether that is a Spanish language course or a degree-seeking program. The process for applying for a student visa from within Spain is different compared to applying from your home country. We have a separate guide that explains how to apply for a student visa from within Spain.<\/li><li><strong>What is the single most important document for my planning? <\/strong><br \/>While all documents are important, the most critical ones are your school acceptance letter, your proof of financial means, and your compliant health insurance policy. For students planning a course longer than 180 days, the criminal record certificate is an extremely important document, and depending on where you are based can take quite some time to obtain. An error on any of these can lead to a visa rejection.<\/li><li><strong>Is it easier to get a Spanish student visa for a shorter course? <\/strong><br \/>For a course that is under 90 days, the process is much easier because you do not need a student visa. Depending on your nationality, you may not need any visa at all.
