여기는 어떤 곳인가
Spanish public universities are cheap by Western European standards, and since 2024 a graduate can stay a full year to look for work or start a business. The two things to plan around: fees are set by each autonomous community rather than the university, so the same degree costs very different amounts in Andalusia and Catalonia, and most undergraduate teaching is in Spanish.
절차는 이렇습니다

Orden PJC/617/2025 of 13 June, annex 1.1.1: the initial grant of a long study stay authorisation is priced at 10,94 euros. The order sets one amount and does not vary it by nationality or by course.

Orden PJC/617/2025 of 13 June, annex 4.2: first issue of the tarjeta de identidad de extranjero, 16,08 euros. Aggregators quote this one at 16,03 and 16,29 as well, which is why the order itself is the source here.
여기는 금액 하나로 정해지지 않습니다: Spain sets the money a student must be able to show as a rate rather than a total. The consulates ask for 100% of the IPREM, the index the country measures its income requirements against, for every month of the stay. That is 600 euros a month at the 2025 rate, with 75% of the IPREM added for the first family member who comes along and 50% for each one after that, and the requirement reduced where accommodation has already been paid for. How many months it runs to is the reader’s to decide, so we do not multiply it out here. The consular fee for the visa is a rate of another kind: Spain charges it by reciprocity, so the amount follows the passport rather than the course. The consulate in Los Angeles lists $160 for a study visa held by a United States citizen and $106 for most other nationalities, with separate rates for Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Ethiopia and the United Kingdom.
The insurance requirement is a specification and not a price. The consulates ask for cover of at least 30,000 euros valid in Spain, with no deductible and no copayment, and say it may not be a travel policy. What that costs is left to the insurer, so there is no amount for us to record.
Orden PJC/617/2025 of 13 June, in force from 16 June 2025, is the fee order for foreigner paperwork, and its annexes carry both of the amounts listed here. The money a student must show is not in it: the consulates state that as a multiple of the IPREM and print no euro total, so it is written here as the rule they publish rather than as a figure we worked out.
