PRACTICE INFORMATION

I) HEALTH CARE AND INSURANCE

Students from European Union State members or EEA countries have different options to obtain health care: European Health Insurance Card, Form E 111, E 128 or the European Card of Health Security. The form must be properly filled before their stay begins, so we strongly recommend to contact their own Social Security Office.

The students will benefit from our National Social Security System and will be able to get medical assistance at public health institutions.

Students who don’t belong to EU or EAA must be properly insured to develop their stay, by a health insurance (public or private) which covers the Spanish requirements.

Emergency calls: 112

II) VISA

There is no need to apply for a visa for EU students.

All non-EU/EEA foreign students who wish to remain in Spain for more than 90 days must apply for a long-term student visa, which will be granted for the whole duration of the stay. It must be applied from the Spanish embassy or consulate that has jurisdiction in the students’ countries.

After the students’ arrival in Spain, they must apply at the Foreign Office or a police station for an authorization which allow them to stay while attending their course.

III) ACCOMMODATION

Our institution doesn’t provide students with accommodation service, so they will have to rent a flat or a room. Nevertheless, assistance will be offered from our institution.

An accommodation list will be posted soon in our website.
