When will the six-month study visa in Spain take effect?

1. Holders of temporary residence and/or work residence, student residence, non-profit residence and other documents that expire during the state of emergency, or expire 90 days before the state of emergency is declared, will be automatically renewed, and there is no need to apply to the immigration office.

2. The automatic extension takes effect from the first day after the expiration of the residence period and lasts for six months after the end of the state of emergency.

Visa valid for less than 90 days:

1. Those who stay in Spain with a visa valid for no more than 90 days will expire in a state of emergency, and the validity will be automatically extended for three months.

2. Validity is limited to Spain.

Similarly, the residence and long-term residence of EU family members have the same limitation extension.

Expiration of residence in China: If you still stay abroad (such as China) but your residence or long-term visa expires during the national emergency, you can still return to Spain with an expired residence card or long-term visa.

Long-term visas: On the other hand, for the purpose of enhancing legal certainty, some regulations have been made on the situation of stay, and some long-term visas will be automatically extended. In this case, the validity period will be automatically extended for three months after the end of the emergency. (mainly for international students with long-term visas, whose visas have expired, but they can't return home smoothly due to the epidemic).
