Residence card and visa

Non EU Students

If you are a citizen from a non EU or non EEA country, you should obtain a student visa in your home country before arriving in Spain. You can apply for a student visa at the Spanish Embassy or Consulate closest to your place of residence. If necessary, you can find the one closest to you on Embassies and consulates - Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores' website .

To apply for a student´s visa, among other documents, you need some proof of acceptance in a UdG study program. You can request a letter of acceptance from:

Early visa application is very important. Please bear in mind that the wait time to receive a visa differs depending on an embassy. It is recommended that you apply for a visa approx. two month in advance.

Important: A tourist visa is not sufficient to study in Spain.

If you have a residence permit in a country that belongs to the European Union but your nationality is not European, you should ask for  Una comunicación de desplazamiento por Estudios EU at the  Oficina de Extranjería in Girona through the UdG. You must do it once in Girona and during your first month of stay. If this is your situation, please send un  e.mail to the International Office  incoming.oi@udg.edu  and we will inform you about the necessary documents and steps to follow.

Once in Girona

It's compulsory to go to the Foreign Office (Oficina de Extranjería en Girona) for register and legalize your stay in Spain during the first month after your arrival.

  • For stays of less than six months it is not required to apply for a Foreigner Identity Card (TIE).  You should have a NIE number in your passport and you can use it to do any administrative procedure (to open a bank account, e.g.).
  • For stays longer than six months, you must personally apply for Foreigner Identity Card (TIE) during the first month after your arrival. 

You must do all the procedure "face to face" but you should ask for a previous appointment "cita previa" .

If you have any doubt you can ask it directly:

In Girona, it is located in Plaça del Vi, nº 1. See the procedures information

If you apply for the TIE (Foreign Identity Card), you should also bring the following documents:

  • 2 photos (white background and little format, be sure your face occupies the major part of the photo, is centrered and clearly defined).
  • In case you apply for a TIE (more than 6 months visa), you will receive a voucher to pay the fee. Please take 20 euros or be sure you have that amount in your bank account in order to make this payment.

Remember that after 45 days you will have to return to the office in order to pick up your TIE.

The card is valid for one year and is renewable if you continue your studies. It can be renewed at the same place in the two months prior to its expiration date. Further information is available at this link .
