Obtaining Spanish Passport ~ Please Help.?

Can I please know whether it is easy to obtain a Spanish passport or not? Also, can you tell me some convenient, legal ways to obtain one? Let's say, for example, I am a student who wishes to study university in Spain and would like to live there for about 7 or 6 years... will it ever be possible for me to get one after this period of time? Or if I ever give birth to a child in Spain, will my chances of getting the passport be good or poor?
-I would be really grateful if you'd kindly answer my questions...
Thank you,
Euphoria

Answer:
You will have to reside in Spain at least 10 years before you can be granted citizenship, and therefore, a passport. The only exception are citizens of the following nations, who can become citizens after 2 years of residence:

Andorra
Argentina
Bolivia
Brazil
Chile
Colombia
Costa Rica
Cuba
Dominican Republic
Ecuador
El Salvador
Guatemala
Honduras
Mexico
Nicaragua
Panama
Paraguay
Peru
Portugal
Uruguay


You will have to renounce your former citzenship if Spain does not have a treaty of dual citizenship with that nation. This is the case with the U.S. You will also have to speak and write Spanish fluently.
