To apply for a visa renewal, the applicant must prove that they have completed and passed the DELE or SIELE level indicated in their Acceptance Letter.
The visa can be renewed for 1 year.
Students are responsible for their own registration for these official exams. Payment must be made by the student and can only be settled via credit card.

WORK PERMIT
Is it possible to work with a student visa?
Optionally, students holding a student visa may apply for a work permit for up to 30 hours per week, provided it is compatible with their study schedule.
The employer must submit the work application to the Foreigners’ Office (Oficina de Extranjería) in the student’s place of residence, and it must be approved by said office.
