In 2023, Spain received over 90,000 visa applications from Indian immigrants. Considering this number, the country is expecting a 10% rise in the number of visa applications from Indians in 2024. Even though Indian students have been interested in studying in Spain, the long waiting period is what is keeping them away from applying for the study visa and deciding to study in Spain. Spain has a number of public and private universities that are extremely affordable for international students. Also interesting scholarships are another reason why Spanish universities are so popular among international students. The ambassador of Spain in India has recently said that to tackle the long waiting time, Spain is looking forward to opening a new consulate in Bangalore and some other cities in India as well.
