Authorization of stay for students. Mobility inside the European Union

- CASE TYPE A:
If you are a student who must come to the UPC with an Erasmus or Erasmus Mundus exchange from your European university, you cannot do the procedure yourself, but we must process it from this UPC Mobility Office. If this is your case, please contact this International Mobilitat Office by writing to: oficina.mobilitat.internacional@upc.edu. We will help you with this procedure and it will be simple; but keep in mind that, for the duration of your stay in Spain, your permit / card of stay for studies from the other country of the European Union from where you come must be valid (that permit cannot expire during your stay in Spain). Otherwise, you will not be able to obtain a residence permit for studies in Spain.

- CASE TYPE B:
If your nationality is from outside the European Union and, during the semester immediately preceding the current one, you have been studying in another country of the European Union, and you are now going to start full studies (master's or doctorate) at the UPC, you could request a Spanish study permit during a period after your entry in Spain (depending on your legality at your entry in Spain)..

If this is your situation, please contact the International Students Office: oficina.mobilitat.internacional@upc.edu. and we will try to give you an advice about it.

But we strongly recommend that you enter Spain with a Spanish student visa, obtained in your origin country, or in the Consulate of Spain of the European Union country where you have been living before coming to Spain. Then you would enter Spain with a strong legal title that gives you legality from your entrance in this country.
