Règles à connaître

Parcours & niveaux2
Not listed for Spanish nationality

Royal Decree 1004/2015 asks for a DELE of at least A2 for nationality by residence; SIELE is not named there or on the Instituto Cervantes nationality page. Use DELE A2 for nationality.[7]

No language test for residence permits

Spain has no national language or civic exam for residence permits: long-term residence asks for 5 years of legal residence, income and health insurance, not a test. DELE A2 and CCSE are for nationality.[8]

Pour bien vous préparer

Conseils d'examen d'EUpassway · éditorial, pas des règles officielles

1Contrôle who accepts it

SIELE suits universities and employers that accept it. For nationality, take DELE A2.

2Plan the long session

SIELE Global takes about 3 hours of testing. Use the 15-minute break between listening and writing to rest.

3Choose only what you need

If an institution asks for only some skills, a module (S1–S5) is cheaper than SIELE Global.

4Test your equipment

For a remote exam, check computer, microphone and room well before the day.
