BCNLIP School offers courses that allow you to get a type D Student Visa. If you have contacted us through an agency, you have to address the agency to discuss all the issues concerning your visa application.
If you have contacted us on your own, we will provide you with the list of documents necessary for the application and also answer the general questions concerning getting a student visa (based on our students’ experiences).
We cannot accompany you to the bank or to other institutions that you have to visit to get the documents, but we can help you get a lawyer’s consultation. It is a service provided by a professional external to the school and, therefore, it is not included in any fee charged by the school itself. In case you are interested, please ask us, and we will give you the contact information of a lawyer. There is also the option to find another lawyer on your own.

Starting from May 20, 2025, due to changes in legislation, it is no longer possible to apply for a Spanish student visa directly from within Spain using a Spanish language course. If you wish to change your tourist visa to a Spanish student visa, this can only be done with official educational programs, such as Vocational Training. Please find more information or contact our department that offers these types of courses: https://ibpbarcelonafp.com/

If you only have a 30-day visa or less, or if you have less than 31 days left of the 90 days during which you are allowed to stay in the EU (all the days throughout the last half a year count), you are not allowed to apply for a student visa regardless of the course you choose.

It is necessary to have an insurance with an unlimited coverage without co-payments, including hospitalisation, emergency, and repatriation. We recommend a company called ASSSA.

If you are a resident in the country where you are right now, you can do it. However, we cannot provide you with the visa approval statistics in such cases.

It depends on the reason why it was denied. If it is possible, you can appeal the refusal and we will reschedule your course up until the moment you get the decision on your appeal. If it is not possible to appeal the visa refusal, or if you wouldn’t like to do it, we will refund you the full cost of the course (except for the enrollment fee). It takes up to 90 days to get a refund after your request has been verified. A visa denial is the only condition under which we accept refund requests.

It is necessary to pay for the course in full before you apply the documents for your visa. Also, the school only gives you the necessary documentation for the visa application after you have paid in full.

Yes, you must provide official documentation confirming your accommodation in Spain. Our school has apartments and rooms for students, but they are subject to availability. Usually they are booked long in advance, so you have to book your accommodation approximately four months before the course starts.
