Here we will set forth some of the documents required by the Spanish Consulate, which can vary depending on the country and the specific case of the person in question. Requirements: - Original valid passport. - Certificate of enrollment (in our case at EAE). - Medical certificate issued by the official authorities in your home country. - Three passport photos in colour. - Proof of economic resources to cover the entire stay. This can be done by depositing the funds in a Spanish bank account, traveller’s cheques in the name of the applicant, a document certifying that the student is the beneficiary of a grant or student loan, a letter stating that the parents, family members or someone else will be financially supporting the student for the entire stay or in another way expressed by the consulate. - Consular charges for each country. Note: The requirements can vary depending on the country in which the process is carried out and on each particular case, therefore it is very important to find out the requirements of the Spanish consulate in your own country.

We suggest therefore that you find out the requirements and the procedure and if you need to make an appointment you should give yourself plenty of time (at least five months in advance).
