im on a student visa in spain. can my wife get a work permit for spain while im studying there?

Answer 1

That is very unlikely unless she finds a job with her native country's consulate or embassy or with an international organization. Of course, there are always other possibilities such as getting sponsorship from a potential employer.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

No, that's very unlikely. She would be hard pressed to get a residence permit for the time you're studying.
