Student Visa

Students are required to obtain a Spanish student visa, normally from the Spanish consulate with jurisdiction over the state in which they permanently reside. Links to individual consular web pages can be found at the Spanish Embassy Home Page. Individual consular web pages list required materials. The visa application is done independently of the PRESHCO Application. A valid passport is required before you can apply for the visa. PRESHCO urges its students to contact the Office of the Spanish Consulate for their area of residence at the same time they are completing the PRESHCO Application. Normally, you will need your official letter of acceptance and the notarized affidavit, provided by your Campus Coordinator. You may also be asked to provide a notarized letter from your parents stating their financial responsibility for your personal expenses during your stay in Spain. If you are financially independent, some other proof of your financial status may be required. Additional documents, which the Consulate will make known to you, may also required. Requirements for a Visa Application vary from one Spanish Consulate office to another. Additional documentation form the University of Córdoba is provided for students upon acceptance to the program. Individual school coordinators will assist students with securing the required visa. It is important that students know as early as possible what materials are needed to apply for a Student Visa and what the deadlines are for submitting the application and picking the visa up. Consequently, it is imperative that students start the process early in order to permit time to obtain any additional materials the consulate with jurisdiction over their area may determine necessary.
