Our Intensive 20 course is the one recomended for long term students and the only course valid for visa purposes as it’s 20 hours per week.

Every embassy works in a different way, so it depends on the country and on demand. We advise our students to get all the paperwork in order at least 2 or 3 months in advance.

Some embassies require 100% payment in advance. We recommend visiting the Spanish embassy in your country and consulting this section.

We also recommend contacting us if you need personalized information for your specific case.

The total amount of the course will be reimbursed with the exception of administrative expenses (€250) and accommodation expenses (€150), as long as the cancellation is made at least 21 working days prior to the start of the course.

The students’ and the school’s holidays can be justified by the school. We can include more weeks on the visa documents so that the students save some money.

Once you begin your course, we will advise you about NIE (your ID card in Spain), and of course on how to renew it and for how long. Long term students (type D visa) may extend their stay in Spain to study. It can also be done for 6 month visas, but the procedure is different.

Embassies usually require different documents to prove you have booked your course and your accommodation in Spain. There are some exceptions, but for most embassies it is an essential requirement in order to apply for a visa.

Except for African countries and some Asian countries (Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia), where it’s difficult to get a student visa, in our experience with the rest of countries almost 100% of the students get their visa.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • INFORMATION

    Citizens of the European Union don’t need a visa to come to Spain. Non-European Union nationals should consult the requirements for a student visa in the Spanish Embassy or Consulate in their country. Generally, 8 weeks are required to confirm a visa. If, in order to get the student visa, the student requests an invitation letter from the school to apply for a visa, they must make an advance payment before the school sends the requested documentation, except for the special conditions of each country. This payment can be made via bank transfer or directly at the school.

    Once the payment has been received, the invitation letter will be sent by email to the student. Any administrative costs incurred (such as bank transfer fees) will be included in the contract and must be paid on the first day of the course. This applies to both individual students and group programs. The student is responsible at all times for the process of applying for their visa.

  • VISA DENIAL

    If the student can’t take the course because their visa has been denied, the total amount of the course will be reimbursed with the exception of administrative expenses (€250) and accommodation expenses (€150), as long as the cancellation is made at least 21 working days prior to the start of the course. In order to receive the refund of the payment, Cronopios Idiomas has to be contacted by letter or email.

    The student must send us the official letter of denial (with date, signature and seal) issued from a Spanish Consulate or Embassy, in which name, passport number and visa requested are clearly visible.
