Student Visa -> Temp Residency -> Army?

Ronin · 10-07-2009, 02:52

If I get a student loan, apply for a student visa, study at a Spanish-American school program and then, once in Spain; apply for Temp Residency, for the purpose of joining the Army... Would this be a wise track of getting my residency. My number one purpose is joining the Spanish Legion.

I found this ...

In the 2000s, after the abandonment of conscription, the Spanish Army again accepted foreigners from select nationalities. Included were: male and female native Spanish speakers, mostly from Central American and South American states. Recruits were required to have a valid Spanish residence permit. Promotion prospects for foreigners are however was reported to be limited.

Today acceptance to the Spanish Legion is based on the following criteria :

Be a Spanish citizen
Be a citizen in good legal standing
Not be deprived of civil rights
Be at least 18 years of age and not be turning 28 on the year of inscription
Be able to pass psychological, physical, and medical evaluations
