If you are thinking of bringing your children to study and live in Spain as an international student<\/strong>, there are several key aspects you need to take into account to ensure that their transition is as smooth as possible. Moving to a new country to study is an exciting and life-changing experience for your children, but it also requires careful planning. Here at Best Schools in Spain<\/a> we offer you a complete guide on what you need to know before moving to Spain with your children to study <\/strong>. <\/p>\n

1. Student visa in Spain<\/h2>\n

One of the first steps you should take is to make sure you obtain a student visa for your child in Spain<\/strong>. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, if your child is a citizen of a country outside the European Union, he or she will need a student visa for foreign minors<\/strong> in order to legally reside and study in the country.<\/p>\n

We recommend that you go to your country’s embassy to ask exactly what the necessary requirements are.<\/p>\n

2. Medical insurance for students in Spain<\/h2>\n

It is mandatory to have student health insurance. If you are a citizen of the European Union, you can use the European Health Insurance Card<\/strong> to access the Spanish public health system with your children. However, it is advisable to take out private health insurance that covers all your needs during your stay. <\/p>\n

Make sure your insurance covers basic medical care, hospitalization, repatriation and assistance in the event of an accident or serious illness of one of your children while they are studying at school.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Accommodation in Spain<\/h2>\n

Finding accommodation in Spain<\/strong> is another important aspect to consider. It is advisable to look for accommodation in advance, especially in popular cities such as Madrid, Barcelona or Valencia. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

If you prefer more privacy and comfort for your children, renting a flat is an excellent option, although it is generally more expensive. However, you can always look for numerous options on websites such as Idealista or Pisos.com, where you will find residential areas close to your children's school.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
