Spain Student visa - Financial requirements
2 questions
Expert Answers
Can a partial education loan combined with a father's fixed deposit satisfy the Spanish embassy's funds requirement for a student visa?
→Yes, combining a partial education loan with your father's fixed deposit can satisfy Spain's visa fund requirement, provided the total covers tuition plus about 7,200 euros a year in living costs. You will need a loan sanction letter and a notarized affidavit proving your father is your financial sponsor.
Do I need to start maintaining funds in my bank account six months before the intended intake for visa purposes in Spain/Sweden?
→No, you do not need six full months of savings history. Spain typically reviews 3 to 6 months of bank statements, while Sweden checks whether you hold the exact required amount at application time, about 10,656 SEK per month. Settling funds 1 to 3 months early avoids unwanted scrutiny.
