To obtain a student visa to Spain, you must choose to study at an accredited educational institution - the language school must be accredited by the Instituto Cervantes. The training program must be full-time and lead to a diploma or certificate upon completion of the course.

Moving to Spain on a student visa is one of the most popular immigration methods. A student visa is an analogue of a residence permit without the right to work and allows its holder to remain for permanent residence in the country in the future. We wrote about moving to Spain on a student visa in this article.
Student visa to Spain can be issued for up to 180 days and for a year.
The first visa is short-term, it is issued quite simply and does not require a large package of documents. A short-term visa cannot be extended in Spain.
The situation is completely different with the second visa - an annual one. In Spain it is often called a “student residence”, because... it gives the right to reside in the country for a year with the possibility of extension (of course, subject to certain requirements). You can read about how this procedure occurs and what documents are required in this article.
Unfortunately, at present this option for legalisation in Spain is not available.
