Is there any country in Europe where a US citizen can get a student visa for study in Spain?
Is there any country in Europe where a US citizen can get a student visa for study in Spain?
My daughter is studying in Europe and has decided she would like to study for 5 months at the University of Seville. It would be very expensive to fly home to get a visa so we are wondering if there is a country in Europe she could go to to get a student visa.

She can go to the US Consulate or Embassy where she presently is. They can provide all the details she will need to study in Spain

Hi CraigJ, I am assuming by your question that she is not a citizen of an EU country who is looking to exercises her freedom of movement under EU Directive 2004/38/EC. UK for example has a similar rule about returning to apply to your country of residence to apply for visas if you are not an EU citizen. Therefore, if she is not an EU citizen she will have to follow the immigration rules for Spain and only Spain can issue her a student visa for Spain. Should that mean she has to return home to apply for the visa then she will have to return.

Why do not ask for a solution to the University itself? If your doughter is compelled to exit Spain and not the EU Italy is the best choiche.
