EX-00 Application for a Long-Term Stay Authorisation (Studies, Training, Volunteering)

EX-00 (“Solicitud de autorización de estancia de larga duración (LO 4/2000 y RD 1155/2024)”) is the official Spanish form to apply for a stay authorisation (estancia) of more than 90 days for studies, training, pupil mobility or volunteering, for its extension, and for permission to work while holding it. The form is in Spanish and has four pages: three to fill in and one with instructions.

An estancia is not a residence permit (residencia): time spent on it counts differently. FoxDocs only types your values into the fields of the official PDF and does not change its layout.

• a foreigner already legally in Spain who wants to study at a university or post-compulsory secondary school, take part in a mobility programme, volunteering or training activities (language assistant, Spanish or co-official language courses, preparation for specialised health training exams and others);
• family members of a student, and a child born in Spain;
• it is filed at the Oficina de Extranjería (foreigners’ office) of the province; an extension (PRÓRROGA) must be filed electronically;
• from abroad the route is usually different — a student visa at the Spanish consulate; check with the consulate;
• the fee is paid with form 790 (tasa modelo 790); check the code and current amount with the office or on the official website.

• section 1 — the foreign national: passport, NIE (if any), surnames, name, sex, date of birth (dd/mm/aaaa), place and country of birth, nationality, civil status, parents’ names, address in Spain, phone and e-mail;
• section 2 — the institution or organisation: name, NIF, official registration (RUCT, RCD, university affiliation or other official recognition), centre code, address and legal representative;
• section 3 — the programme: name, code, start and end dates, mode (in person or hybrid);
• section 4 — the student being accompanied by a family member; section 5 — the employer, only if you also apply for work as an employee;
• section 6 — representative for submission; section 7 — address for notifications and consent to notifications via DEHú;
• section 8 — type: INICIAL (ticking the ground), PRÓRROGA or AUTORIZACIÓN PARA TRABAJAR (employee or self-employed); place, date, signature and the “Dirigida a” line.

• the EX-00 form, original and a copy, filled in in capital letters;
• passport, original and a copy;
• proof of enrolment or admission to the institution, programme or volunteering organisation;
• proof of means of support and health insurance — check amounts and conditions with the office;
• the receipt for the form 790 fee;
• the exact list depends on the ground and the office — check in advance.

1. Tell the chat in any language where and what you study, the programme dates and what you need: initial authorisation, extension or permission to work.
2. The assistant fills the boxes in capital letters, splits dates into dd/mm/aaaa and the NIE into letter, number and control letter, and ticks the right boxes.
3. Download the PDF, check it, print, sign it by hand and submit it together with a copy.
