Study in Spain from Lithuania
studijos Ispanijoje · ispanų kalbos egzaminas DELE
The honest picture for students in Lithuania: which Spanish exam actually fits your goal, how you enter Spain (EU/EEA free movement), and — if you settle — the 10-year route to nationality. Then practise DELE and SIELE task formats with feedback on the real scale.
Entry route
EU/EEA free movement
As an EU/EEA/Swiss national you don't need a student visa to study in Spain — you register (empadronamiento / NIE) for stays over three months. No DELE is legally required for entry; a university may still ask for proof of Spanish for a Spanish-taught degree.
Nationality
10-year residence track (DELE A2 + CCSE)
Nationals of Lithuania generally need 10 years of legal residence before applying for Spanish nationality. Adults must also pass DELE A2 (or higher) and the CCSE civic test. These are requirements, not a guarantee — the decision rests with the authorities, and SIELE is not accepted for nationality.
For study
DELE B1/B2/C1 or SIELE
Most Spanish universities accept DELE or SIELE for admission to a Spanish-taught programme; the exact level varies by course. SIELE (0–1000, no pass/fail) is a fast pan-Hispanic option; DELE is a lifetime diploma. Confirm the required level with the university.

Admission, registration or naturalisation is not a visa — confirm current rules with the Spanish consulate, the registro civil, your university, or Instituto Cervantes. SIELE is not accepted for Spanish nationality.
