Learning Spanish in Spain is not only a great opportunity to learn the language directly in the environment and practice daily with native speakers, but also a chance to move to Spain for permanent residence. To ensure that the procedure for obtaining a study visa goes without a hitch, we recommend following simple rules.<\/p>\n
You need to study Spanish in Spain at the right educational institution. If everything is suitable simply for gaining knowledge, from courses for immigrants to private teachers, then only language schools authorized by the Cervantes Institute or official language courses at universities are suitable for obtaining a study visa.<\/p>\n
Once an educational institution has been selected, you need to decide on the course itself. Only intensive Spanish courses with a load of at least 20 hours per week are suitable for a study visa.<\/p>\n
We have already written several times that study visa to Spain<\/a> can be issued both in the country of residence through the Spanish consulate, and directly on the territory of Spain. But in the second case, it is important not to miss two key points: first, you must be in Spain legally (for example, enter on a tourist visa), and second, at the time of submitting your application, the remaining validity of the visa must be at least one month.<\/p>\n If you have decided to apply for a study visa in Spain itself, you will have to take care of obtaining an entry stamp in your passport. On international flights, such a stamp will be placed at passport control. But if a future student arrives in Spain on a domestic European flight, he will need to contact the police department directly at the airport of arrival.<\/p>\n The package of documents for obtaining a study visa in Spain, in addition to the application, forms of paid fees and a foreign passport, includes the following: documents of an economic nature on the availability of a sum of money for the entire period of stay in Spain (100% IPREM per month), documents on enrollment in a training course, a certificate of good conduct, a medical certificate, as well as health insurance and a document on the availability of housing. Difficulties often arise with the last two, so we will dwell on them in more detail.<\/p>\n Health insurance must be purchased from an insurance company operating throughout Spain. It is important that it provides full medical coverage without co-payments, including repatriation and hospitalization. Recently, the Spanish Migration Service has begun to pay very close attention to health insurance, looking for the slightest reason to refuse a visa (insufficient coverage, quarantine period, etc.). In response, some insurance companies have developed and released a new product – separate medical insurance for obtaining a study visa, satisfying all the requirements and conditions of the migration service. Thus, you should approach the choice of an insurance company and policy responsibly and not buy the first one you come across or the cheapest one.<\/p>\n The second difficult point is finding suitable housing. Some language schools are taking on this problem and helping their students find student housing. But still, the vast majority have to search on their own. It is almost impossible to do this without the help of professional realtors, because… The demand for rental housing exceeds supply, and the requirements for potential tenants are very high. We recommend starting your search as early as possible and in several directions at once:<\/p>\n We especially emphasize that for a student visa you will need a rental agreement and housing documents (owner documents and an extract from the Property Register).<\/span><\/p>\n We should also talk about innovations in Spanish migration legislation. In the middle of last year, a number of changes were made to the Regulations of the Foreigners Act, some of which directly affected study visa holders. The most important innovation is the possibility of modifying a study visa in residence (residence permit) with the right to work<\/a>. Previously, it was necessary to live in the country on a study visa for at least 3 years, but now this restriction has been lifted. If you are lucky and a suitable employer is found, you can request a residence with the right to work for hire. Or, if you have your own real business project and the funds for its implementation, you can request a residence with the right to work for yourself as an individual entrepreneur.<\/p>\n Today, a study visa is the simplest and most affordable option to move to Spain and establish a foothold in this country. Learning Spanish in Spain becomes not only interesting, but also extremely useful: right on the spot, you can move from a student to the status of a full-fledged resident with the right to live and work, and in the future, with the right to obtain Spanish citizenship.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learning Spanish in Spain is not only a great\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1400,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-education"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1399"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1402,"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399\/revisions\/1402"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alegria-service.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Health insurance and housing in Spain for students<\/h2>\n
