Learning Spanish Abroad

Visas

I get a lot of questions about whether visas are needed to study Spanish abroad.

The general answer, for US and European nationals, is that you can stay (and study) in Spain or most Latin American countries for up to 90 days without a visa.

However, it’s always best to check. The “official” place to check, of course, is with the nearest embassy or consulate of the country you’re going to visit. However, if you’d like to get an idea, you can always visit the following website:
World Travel Guide

Just find the country you want to study Spanish in, and you’ll find a section entitled “Passport/Visa”. Click on that heading and you’ll be given a summary of the visa requirements for that country. Basically, if you can enter as a tourist without a visa, you can go to study Spanish without a visa.
