Admission & Visa

Everything you need before coming to Spain

In a personal remote/face-to-face conversation, one of our consultants elaborates on your situation and provides advice and recommended course of actions after carefully evaluating all your options. This is usually the first step before we pivot into an in-depth analysis of your career path, lay the foundation of your start-up or discuss legal possibilities for each case like commercial/residential property investment, visa options and requirements, or application for/renewal of Spanish residency.

Why LEAP? | What does a study abroad agency do?

If you are a non-European citizen and want to study in Spain for longer than three months, you will have to apply for a student visa. Over the years, we collected vast experience, which we dedicate to get all your documents and steps necessary sorted. As a result, we maximize your chances to obtain a European student visa, tourist visa, non-lucrative residence visa, work permit, entrepreneurial, highly qualified professional or golden visa.

In a personal consultation you will learn about required documents, the application preparation, and forms. We will revise all your documentation to ensure the application is correct and complete and book the appointment at the Spanish Embassy in your country.

Based on your preferences of apartment and neighbourhood, we will help you find the perfect accommodation. There are different options available in Spain.

A room in a shared apartment is a flexible and affordable choice for students. You will share common spaces like kitchen and living room with international people from all over the world.

If you are looking for a private room with shared amenities and big common
areas, surrounded by other global students, you should investigate a student residence. The price varies depending on the room size, location, and level of services you require. Among other services, most residences help with cleaning, washing, breakfast or half board.

A studio apartment is a compact and fully equipped one-room apartment, which offers full privacy for an affordable price. Studio apartments are usually furnished and come with all amenities included.

Do you desire space and a certain level of luxury? Then a fully equipped
2 – 4 room private apartment could be the right choice for you. These apartments vary in price, depending on the location in the city and if they are furnished or unfurnished.

Another popular option is to stay with one of our validated Spanish Host Families. They provide you shelter in combination with breakfast, half-board or full-board as well as optional laundry services. Staying with the family gives you unique insights into Spanish culture, language, and it’s a fun and safe way to get to know the Spaniards.

We will guide and support you with the registration at the Spanish town hall and present you to the Spanish authorities. There are a few steps you will need to take within the first three months of your stay, like NIE/TIE and Empadronamiento. LEAP schedules your appointments prepares your application and tax forms and one of our consultants accompanies you to the appointment to make sure you receive necessary documents.

What are the NIE/TIE and how to get one? 

We are an official partner of ASISA, one of the leading Spanish medial insurance companies who work with more than 25.000 doctors and hospitals in Spain. Based on your situation we consult you for the right insurance and can offer you a very competitive price for the duration of your stay in Spain. We renegotiate the insurance terms regularly to provide you the best insurance deals in Spain. A private Spanish health insurance is a crucial requirement to obtain a Spanish student visa for international students. We make sure that you receive the insurance you need for the Spanish Embassy in your country to issue the visa in time.

How to choose a good student insurance? 

Upon arrival at the airport we provide a pick-up service, where one of our trusted drivers will wait for you in the airport arrival hall and bring you to your new home in Spain.

We work with a number of Spanish and international banks and will open a Spanish bank account for you at a bank with English-speaking consultants so you can easily transfer money between your Spanish and international accounts.
