Legal requirements for students from Colombia

Once we have seen the steps, we are going to indicate the general requirements that you must meet if you are a student. You should know that these are broad requirements, so, once you have made your decision to study in Spain, consult the Spanish consulate that will provide you with all the official information in force for that specific moment.

• Valid passport.
• Taking out travel insurance with a minimum coverage of 30.000 euros.
• Apply for a study visa. This is something we want to explain to you well. If you are going to stay less than 3 months, a visa is not necessary. If you are going to be there (as is normal for a study) longer than that date, you will have to apply for a study visa at the Spanish consulate in your city. To do this you will have to prove that you have been accepted into the academic center or university, providing the registration and the money deposited for said course. Escuela PCE can help you make your university entry easier, saving you costs. Since we are a specialized online academy, we can prepare you while you are in Colombia, without having to come to Spain. We would take you through all the processes, explaining the classes, signing you up for the exams you would take...in Bogotá! Once you have taken the exams, the subsequent university pre-registration and received notification that you are accepted at a university, you can apply for a study visa through the certificate that the destination university will issue to you. This will help you save on housing, food, transportation, trips to Spain, documentation costs, etc. Ask us about this and we will explain it to you personally with one of our coordinators.
• Be free of criminal record.
• Possess economic liquidity of at least 600 euros per month (check with the Spanish consulate to check the official financial requirements in the year of application).
• Indicate residence during the period indicated on the visa.

You can check all this at the Spanish Consulate in Bogotá
