Student to work Spain — Hoja 58 modification

Use this when an eligible study or training stay becomes a residence-and-work route through EX-26.

Can I change from student stay to work residence in Spain?

Yes, if Hoja 58 and RD 1155/2024 art. 190 cover your study/training stay and you already obtained the required qualification or certificate. This is an EX-26 modification, not a new consular visa route.

Which work route do I choose inside Hoja 58?

Choose the target work authorization your facts can prove: employed work, self-employed work, highly qualified, or exemption from work authorization. Hoja 58 is the modification bridge, not the full evidence pack for every work route.

Conditions

RD 1155/2024 art. 190 requires an eligible long-stay study/training authorization and the obtained qualification or certificate. The target route then determines whether art. 74, art. 84, a highly qualified route, or art. 89.2 applies.

Materials

Core materials are EX-26, passport, current study stay proof, the certificate or qualification, and the evidence for the target work route. For employed work this is employer-side evidence; for self-employment it is project, licence, qualification, investment and viability evidence.

Costs and channel

Hoja 58 identifies 790-052 epigraph 2.5 for modification. It identifies 790-062 for employed-work authorization where that branch applies. Filing is through Mercurio.

What to do

Prove the certificate first, then prove the target work route.

Bring

  • Current study stay card or resolution
  • Qualification or certificate
  • Passport
  • Target-route work evidence
  • EX-26
  • Tasa receipt where required

Steps

  1. Confirm the study/training category is covered by Hoja 58.
  2. Confirm the qualification or certificate has been obtained.
  3. Choose the target route: employed, self-employed, highly qualified, or work-exempt.
  4. Prepare EX-26 and the target-route evidence before filing through Mercurio.
  5. Check 790-052 and, where applicable, 790-062 in the official tasa system.

RD 1155/2024 art. 190; target route checks use art. 74, art. 84 and art. 89.2 where applicable.
