We are very happy to have you as our student for the upcoming 2024-2025 academic year.
If you are coming from abroad, we are here to assist you with anything you need to formalize your residency in Spain.
If you are from another Spanish city, feel free to reach out with any questions about Alicante or your stay in our city.
Our team will be at your disposal before and during the course to make your stay in Alicante and your time with our Academy a positive and unforgettable experience.
When preparing your trip to Spain, please keep the following formalities in mind:
Student Visa and NIE
International students from non-European countries must have a valid student visa from the first day of the course, which allows them to apply for the NIE (Foreigner Identification Number) to legally reside in Spain.
This is a lengthy process, so we recommend contacting the Spanish consulate in your country as soon as possible to gather information about the required documents and deadlines.
If you already hold a student visa from another European (Schengen) country, you must still process your residency in Spain and obtain a Spanish NIE during your first month in the country.
Health Insurance
Students must have a valid health card for the entire academic year or purchase private health insurance for the duration of their studies.
Minors
If students under 18 are not accompanied by a legal guardian or parent, they must designate a legal representative via a notarized document.
Accommodation
It is highly recommended that you live in Alicante during your full-time study period with us.
