A change in the regulations that regulate the entry of foreigners into the country allows these students to combine their training with jobs of up to 30 hours per week. Spain issued 122,460 study permits (undergraduate, postgraduate, FP and other training) or professional internships last year, a third more than the 81,346 registered in 2021.
The growth of Russian students is the most striking, although the presence of the population from Latin America is the one that leads, followed by enrollment from the United States, China and Morocco.
