Can I stay in Spain after my study visa ends?

After your study visa ends, you can stay in Spain under certain conditions. If you wish to extend your stay, you must apply for a visa extension or switch to a different visa type, such as a work or residency visa, before your current visa expires.

Alternatively, Spain offers a 12-month post-study visa for non-EU students to seek employment or start a business. You must apply within 60 days of your visa expiry and meet financial requirements. Overstaying without proper authorization may result in fines or deportation, so timely action is essential.
