Spain Master’s after 6 years of work-student visa concerns.
Hi everyone, looking for some genuine opinions about my Spain Master’s and student visa plan.I completed my BA in Journalism & Mass Communication in 2021 and have been continuously working since then:
- 1 year – Marketing & Communications Executive (leather industry)
- 2 years – Sales, Marketing & Guest Relations Executive (hotel)
- 3 years to present – Hotel Sales, Marketing & Guest Relations Manager
I’m now planning to pursue a Master’s in Hospitality Management in Spain.
After gaining around 6 years of practical experience, my long-term plan is to start my own hotel in India. I want to gain formal hospitality-management knowledge and exposure to Spanish/European hotel management and hospitality practices, and eventually apply that knowledge to my own hotel project.
My main concerns are:
- Is pursuing a Master’s 6 years after graduating an issue for a Spanish student visa, despite continuous documented work experience?
- Does my career progression and choice of Hospitality Management look logical?
- Does my future plan of establishing my own hotel in India make the study purpose stronger?
- My only international travel history is UAE. Could limited travel history be a concern?
- Overall, how does my profile look for Spanish student visa approval?
Would really appreciate views from anyone who has gone through the Spanish student visa process, especially after several years of work experience .
