2 The Student Visa You all have been issued a long-term Student Visa: Habilita a permanecer en España para la realización de cursos, estudios, trabajos de investigación o formación, intercambio de alumnos, prácticas no laborales o servicios de voluntariado, no remunerados laboralmente. It allows you to study or research in Spain. It is valid for 90+ days from the date of issue. It is a multiple entry visa: you can leave Spain and re-enter as many times as you wish. It does not give you the right to work nor sign any type of work contract (Autorización de trabajo required).
