Study in Spain

• Accredited Spanish institutions with English-taught bachelor\'s and master\'s programmes
• Strong options in business, hospitality, tech and design
• We match you to the right institution for your grades, budget and career plan — talk to us for the current list.

• Main intakes in September/October, with some programmes opening in January/February.
• Start 6–9 months ahead — document preparation for Spain takes longer than most destinations because of apostilles and translations.
• We assess your transcripts early and flag anything that needs legalisation before deadlines get close.

The Spanish student visa is a paperwork marathon — we run it with you.

• You\'ll apply for a national (Type D) student visa, lodged through BLS International centres in the Philippines.
• Your file includes an NBI Clearance apostilled by the DFA, a medical certificate, proof of financial means, health insurance, and sworn Spanish translations of key documents.
• We prepare the file, check every translation and apostille, and rehearse you until you\'re ready.

Spanish consulates ask for proof of accommodation before they grant the visa — not after you land.

• We help you secure compliant accommodation documentation for your application, then help you find the place you\'ll actually want to live in.
• Student residences and shared flats are the norm for first-year international students.

A session (or three) before you fly, covering:

• Documents to hand-carry — passport and visa, admission letter, insurance certificate, apostilled originals, accommodation proof.
• Money — opening a Spanish bank account and how to receive funds from home.
• First 30 days checklist — TIE residence card appointment, university enrolment, SIM card, transport pass.
• Culture and language briefing — English gets you through class; a little Spanish gets you through life. We\'ll point you to the right prep resources.

• Spain\'s student rules generally allow part-time work alongside full-time study — we brief you on the current limits before you commit to anything.
• Internships and work placements are common in business and hospitality programmes.
• Post-study pathways exist for graduates of Spanish institutions — we assess your options case by case as rules evolve.

One of Western Europe\'s gentler budgets.

• Most students plan €700–€1,100 per month outside Madrid and Barcelona; the two big cities run higher, mainly through rent.
• Shared flats are the standard student setup and the biggest lever on your budget.
• Public transport, groceries, and eating out cost noticeably less than in northern Europe.
• Figures shift year to year — we confirm live numbers with you before you commit to anything.

• Do I need to speak Spanish? Not for English-taught programmes — but daily life is easier with basics, and we\'ll point you to prep resources.
• Do I need an NBI Clearance? Yes — apostilled by the DFA, and it must be recent when you lodge.
• Do my documents need translation? Key documents need sworn Spanish translations — priced per page, which is why our calculator has a page counter for Spain.
• Can I work while studying? Part-time work is generally possible alongside full-time study — we brief you on the current rules for your case.
• How early should I start? Six to nine months before intake. Apostilles and translations are the slow part.
• What if my visa is refused? We review what went wrong and rebuild the application.
