Student residence allows you to work 20 hours a week, and family members can also move with the student on this visa.<br \/>\nWith this visa, the student receives a student residence, which can be renewed every year for the entire period of study. Student residence is not counted towards the length of residence permit when obtaining citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>If a student has studied courses for 3 years or receives higher education in Spain, then after graduation he receives another year, during which he can find a job or open a business in Spain.
