Yes – Student visas are only required for programs longer than 3 months in duration. Our Semesters in Spain are usually a little longer than 3 months.  So, first step is to contact your nearest Spanish Consulate or Embassy now to find out their specific requirements for a STUDENT VISA. You can locate the Spanish Consulate nearest you (www.spainemb.org/ingles/indexing.htm) and contact them to set up your STUDENT VISA appointment via email or by fax, sometimes phone. It sounds more complicated than it is — just give yourself enough time to get the documentation required together. If you are serious about studying abroad, you should begin that process now, as many times the only way to get in touch with your embassy / consulate is by email and often time hours of operation are 9-12 only. Once you have applied for the Adelante program, been accepted and paid your Tuition, we give you an Acceptance Letter (written in Spanish and addressed to your Consulate) that will enable you to obtain the Student Visa you need for this program. Click here for more information on visas.
