hi i am an american and i am going to be studying in spain. does anyone know if i have to go back to the u.s. to apply for my student visa or if i can do it while i am in spain?? i cant seem to find any answers online. thanks.

Actually it’s on our visas page, but yes, all visas must be picked up from your home country. As far as I know there is no way of getting around it and, yes, it sucks.

oh wow. ok thank you so much!

No problem, good luck and let us know how you get on. We always like to hear back from people as they follow down the path… 😊
