The Immigration Office in Tarragona

Autorización de estancia de larga duración por estudios is an authorisation, so it is decided at an Oficina de Extranjería under the Government Delegation — not at a police station. They are separate networks with separate appointment systems, and going to the wrong one is the most common wasted journey in Spanish immigration.

    • Proof that enrolment fees are paidRegistration, matriculation or an equivalent document from the institution.
    • Proof of the course lengthFor higher education this decides how long your authorisation runs, since it matches the official duration of the studies.
    • Health insuranceUnless you are working under the rules above, in which case Social Security registration satisfies it.
    • Annual proof of enrolment, where the permit runs over a yearFiled at the start of each academic year to keep the authorisation in force.
    • For pupil mobility: the host arrangementsThe centre managing the programme must take responsibility for the pupil, including the cost of studies, stay and return, and the pupil must be housed with a selected family or in an approved residence.

    Other procedures handled in Tarragona

    Before you travel to one of these

    Almost all of these offices work by appointment only, booked through the electronic office of the public administration. Turning up without one generally means being turned away, however short the queue looks. Office assignments also change, so if what is here does not match what you are told on the phone, believe the phone and tell us.
