| Student visa | Student (national long-stay Type D) visa consular fee ₹9,599Fixed rupee consular fee for Indian citizens applying for any national (long-stay Type D) visa, including students. Confirmed on Spain's official India application partner (BLS International): 'National Visa fees for Indian Citizens of INR 9599 are only payable via cash or online.' Underlying statutory national-visa fee is EUR 80; India pays this set INR amount and is not on the reciprocity list, so the standard rate applies. | ₹25,000 + 18% GST = ₹29,500 | Legal decision period of 1 month from the day after submission (can be extended) | Covers the full stay if 6 months or less; issued for 1 year if over 6 months (then TIE) | — | Duration of the study programme (over 90 days) |
| Dependent visa | National (long-stay Type D) visa fee ₹9,599Consular/government fee for the family reunification (dependent) national visa, charged in rupees at the BLS centre. This is BLS International's rupee-denominated figure for the standard EUR 80 national long-stay visa fee. Same amount for adults and minors. | ₹25,000 + 18% GST = ₹29,500 | The consulate normally decides within about 2 months of a complete submission; this follows the separate wait for the sponsor's reunification permit in Spain, which typically takes several months. | Tied to the sponsor's permit: the entry visa is valid 90 days, and the TIE residence card issued in Spain runs in line with the sponsor's authorisation. | Multiple | Long-stay residence in Spain, renewable together with the sponsor's permit for as long as the family relationship and conditions hold. |
