Visa procedures
The MAEC recalls that a student visa takes about ten days to resolve, if the applicant has provided all requirements. In any case, remember that applications should be submitted at least one month before the scheduled date of travel.

Spain: Long-term residence authorization for the pursuit of higher studies
If you are a non-EU student coming to EHU with an Erasmus+ or Erasmus Mundus exchange from your European university, EHU (not you) must make a communication of intracommunity mobility to the competent Spanish authorities.
- If you are an Erasmus+ exchange student traveling with a residence permit for studies from another EU country, contact info.welcomentre@ehu.eus as soon as possible.
- If you are a master's student under Erasmus Mundus, contact your master's program at EHU.
Upon entering Spain, don't forget to:
- Either obtain the entry stamp in your passport, or go to the National Police within your first 72 hours in Spain to obtain a 'Declaration of entry into National Territory.'
- And request written evidence that EHU has made the intracommunity communication within the first 30 days of your arrival.
