personal100% IPREM × number of months of stay. As of 2025 the IPREM monthly is €600 (so ~€7,200 per 12 months). Always verify the current IPREM at https://www.iprem.com.es before applying — the figure is set each year in the State Budget.

Bank statement — Bank Statement — Proof of Financial Means

A recent statement (extracto bancario) from a bank account in your name showing you can cover the full requested stay. Spain measures this against the IPREM (Indicador Público de Renta de Efectos Múltiples): the rule for students is 100% IPREM per month of stay.

How to get it

Download a PDF statement from your bank's app or web portal for the most recent month, in your name, with the bank's logo visible. If a parent or sponsor supports you, add a notarized declaration of financial support plus their bank statement showing the same amounts.

Common mistakes

— Statement is older than ~30 days — Mercurio and the Oficina de Extranjería usually want it fresh
— Account is in a parent's name only, with no notarized declaration of support attached
— Balance shown is below 100% IPREM for the requested period
— Screenshot from the app instead of an official PDF statement with the bank's letterhead

If your funds come from a scholarship, the scholarship award letter usually replaces (or supplements) the bank statement — make sure the amounts and dates match.
