Estudar na Espanha sendo estudante brasileiro

Q: Estudantes brasileiros precisam de visto para estudar na Espanha?

For studies longer than 90 days, you need a study authorization. The usual route is a student visa from the Spanish consulate or embassy that serves where you live in Brazil. Since 2025, adults who are already in Spain legally can also apply from Spain for higher education, but they must apply at least two months before their legal stay ends and before the course starts, and the decision can take two months, so the consular route is the safer choice for most students.

Q: Is travel insurance enough?

No. Spanish missions ask for insurance from an insurer authorized in Spain that covers all the risks covered by the Spanish public health system.

Q: How much money do I need to show?

At least 100% of the IPREM for each month of your stay: €600 a month in 2026. If your accommodation is already paid for the whole stay, the amount can be lower. Financial documents issued abroad may need an apostille or legalization and a translation into Spanish.

Spain combines a large choice of degrees, a warm climate and moderate living costs. For Brazilian students the path has three parts: get admitted by a Spanish university, get a student visa from the Spanish consulate or embassy that serves where you live in Brazil, and apply for your foreigner identity card (TIE) within a month of arriving. Since 2025 the study authorization covers your whole degree, and you may work up to 30 hours a week while you study.

The study authorization lasts as long as your degree, so you do not renew it every year

You may work up to 30 hours a week while you study

After a degree at bachelor’s level or higher, you can stay up to 24 months to look for work or start a business

Living costs are moderate, especially outside Madrid and Barcelona

Spain is a natural place to learn Spanish, one of the world’s most widely spoken languages

Apply at least two months before your course starts; earlier is safer
