Student Visas

The standard procedure to get a visa is described below but as each Spanish consulate (even within the same country) has slightly different rules (or interpret the official regulations differently) . We strongly recommend you check with your nearest Spanish consulate as to what paperwork will they require from you as you apply for your Spanish course. You will have to deliver all the necessary documents in person.

Getting a student visa can take from one week to several months so we always recommend starting the application process as early as possible or at least get confirmation from the consulate as to approximately how long the process will take.

As a guide, Spanish consulates will ask for:

Valid passport for the full length of your stay.
Fill out a number of forms and bring at least 3 passport-sized photos.
Confirmation of enrollment in the Spanish course.
It is also frequently requested an accommodation letter stating where you will be living and who is responsible to pay for it.

Club RCI will ensure you recieve all the documents needed.
