Student Visa 

Is a Student Visa required to attend 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).

​​

How do you get the matriculation letter required for your Student Visa?

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.

​

Where do you apply for your Student Visa?

You can ONLY apply for the Student Visa in your home country. Not in Spain.  

​

When should you start your Student Visa process?

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.

​

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 250€.

​

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 your visa is approved?

You must pay the Tuition Fees and attend BHS classes.
