HEALTH

Accessing the healthcare system in Spain is a simple and structured process that ensures every international student receives care from day one. Students from the European Union have direct access through the European Health Insurance Card, integrating naturally into the public network. Students from outside the EU have comprehensive private international health insurance, a visa requirement that translates into privileged access to elite clinics and hospitals with minimal waiting times and multilingual care. In addition, thanks to current regulations that allow students to work up to 30 hours per week, those who enter the labor market automatically obtain the right to public Social Security, providing them with a double health protection network so that their only priority is to achieve success in their studies.

DRIVING LICENSE

Exploring every corner of Spain is a simple and accessible experience for international students thanks to a highly integrated and flexible mobility system that encourages freedom of movement. European Union citizens can drive directly with their original license, while students from outside the EU enjoy the great advantage of direct exchange agreements that Spain has with most Latin American countries, allowing foreign licenses to be validated quickly through a simple administrative procedure and a psychometric test. This process is designed to be efficient and transparent, ensuring that you will soon have a permit that is valid throughout the Eurozone. This ease of transportation gives you complete autonomy to discover the cultural richness and spectacular landscapes at your own pace, turning your studies into an unforgettable adventure on wheels.
