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.

Are student jobs paid?

70% of jobs are paid, and the average salary is €800 according to Glassdoor (https://www.glassdoor.es/Sueldos/barcelona-practicante-sueldo-SRCH_IL.0,9_IC2547194_KO10,21.html)

Note: It is not explicitly stated that the jobs are paid, because some of the companies offer unpaid positions.

Does the school guarantee me a job?

No, no business school or institution can guarantee employment from a legal standpoint, as it depends on:

Availability of the job position.
The student's profile matching the job position.
The student passing the personnel selection filters. Therefore, schools regularly support students in their job search, BUT they cannot take responsibility for finding a job, which is solely the student's responsibility.

Can I work in Spain with a student visa?

Yes, as of July 2022, you can work 30 hours per week (the highest number of hours in the US). You can work in any professional field and in any sector.

*A STUDENT VISA IS NOT A WORK PERMIT; it allows you to work 30 hours per week.

Is there a cost for the student visa?

In Colombia there is no cost, in Peru there is (321.10 soles), in Ecuador there is (84.97 USD), so depending on the country, you can check whether there is a cost on the website https://www.exteriores.gob.es/.

Can the student's partner or companion work?

No, but if you can look for a job and change your immigration status from a dependent visa to a residence and work permit, the other option is to find an academic program at your destination that lasts more than six months, which will allow you to obtain a student visa, giving you access to work 30 hours per week.
