The students with a passport from a different country that not belongs to the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland must ask for a student visa in the Spanish Consulate at your home country.
Find your nearest consular office.
Upon arrival at the University of Alicante, and depending on the visa obtained, you will have to carry out these procedures during the first month of your arrival if you are going to spend more than 6 months in Spain. I will have to carry out some procedures or not:
- There is no need to do additional paperwork if I have a 180 day-visa and it is the period that I will be in Spain; my NIE number (Foreigner Identity Number) is printed on the visa.
- If I have a 90-day visa and I will be spending more time in Spain: you must put your fingerprints to obtain a card (TIE) in the Police Station during the first month at your arrival. In this case I will get a Foreign Student Card from the Police in Spain. More info here
