Visa Requirements
Barcelona is a part of Spain and the European Union; any student coming from outside of Spain for more than three months needs a VISA.
Getting a visa for Spain may take up to 6 weeks to be issued. However, sometimes things can happen where a visa may take longer for extraneous reasons. To prevent any delay, make sure you make an appointment with the nearest Spanish embassy as soon as possible.
Know about the visa process
You must know the time frame for how long the course will be so you know which visa to apply for (the course length will be stated in the C3S Business School admission letter). If you know the course you’re taking is not going to take more than three months, we recommend you apply for a short-term student visa. If the course lasts longer than 90 days, then you must apply for the student visa types available.
Note:
- If you apply for a short-term VISA if it expires while you’re in Spain you won’t be able to renew it while you’re in the country. You would have to go back to your country and apply for a new one.
- If you apply for a long-term VISA, you will also have to apply for a NIE student resident card within one month after you arrive in Spain. You can apply for that card through the Immigration Department.
