Is it difficult and complicated to obtain a Spanish student visa?
Applying to any government office for anything can be time consuming. The winning strategy is to be well prepared before applying for the Spanish student visa. Students with citizenship from outside the European Union will be required to obtain a Spanish student visa from the Spanish Consulate nearest their home prior to coming to Spain. Students needing such a visa will receive certification of their admission to Suffolk University Madrid Campus as part of the documentation to be submitted in the visa application process. The Spanish Consulate may require proof of full payment of all University fees (including tuition and housing) for at least the first semester before the visa will be granted. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Spanish Consulate in order to ascertain the other necessary documentation, as well as the length of the visa application process.
