Student Visa 

Is a Student Visa required to BHS?

No, you do not need a Student Visa if (1) you are an EU citizen or (2) you already have residency in Spain through your parents or through another visa program.

​

Who needs a Student Visa?

Only non-EU students who do not already have residency in Spain and want to live in Spain and attend BHS for more than 90 days (3 months).

​​

What is the Student Visa process for BHS?

Once you pay the Annual Matriculation Fee  +  One-time Entrance Fee then BHS will send you an official Student Visa matriculation letter as part of your Student Visa application.

​

How do you apply for your Student Visa?

You can apply for the Student Visa in your home country or from Spain once you arrive in Spain.

​

When should you apply for your Student Visa?

If you are applying from your home country we recommend that you start the process 5 months from your arrival date to obtain all the required documents and to be able to get an appointment with the Spanish consulate or embassy in your home country. If you are not able to obtain your student visa in time of your arrival date, you can apply in Spain when you arrive to Spain through a local Spanish attorney (only within your first 60 days of arrival).

​

Do you need a Legal Guardian?

If you are a minor (under 18 years old) and you will be living in Barcelona without your parents then BHS can be your Legal Guardian as required for your Student Visa application. The administrative fee for this is 150€.

​

Do you want professional help to get your visa?

While the visa process may seem easy, it can be quite complicated and difficult to obtain your visa in a timely manner. Therefore, BHS can refer you to a professional visa specialist to help you obtain your Student Visa if desired.

​

What happens after my visa is approved?

You must pay the Tuition Fees and attend BHS classes.
