Prepare your trip to Spain

Visas
In certain cases, it is necessary for international students to obtain a visa authorizing them to legally reside in our country. This is especially given to students whose country of origin is not in the EU and whose stay is going to last over three months.
Healthcare System
Our country has a broad network of healthcare centres and public hospitals which guarantees healthcare assistance. Therefore, if you are an EU citizen (or Island, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland) we recommend you to complete the necessary proceedings to obtain the European Healthcare Card and benefit from the National Healthcare System.
If you come from any other country, confirm before your arrival if there is an agreement regarding healthcare assistance with Spain; otherwise, you will have to contract a private insurance for your stay in your country: it is very important because without it you will not be able to request your study visa!
