Answers
These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
“You don’t need to be is spain to learn Spanish, you can learn online aswell”
“It varies, just check online. To qualify for the student visa you have to be with a reputable school and have classes at least 20 hours a week. I’ve heard people recommend this one: https://laemadrid.com – But I’ve cant personally vouch for them because I didn’t attend.”
“The course will usually be a few thousand euros (or more depending on how long you intend to stay) and then you will also need to demonstrate that you have enough savings or that you’re receiving monetary support from family in order to get the visa”
“We did a one year program at La Complutense (University of Madrid) 20 hours/week for a 10 month program was just under $6000 for the year. We also had to get health insurance for the 10 months, paid in advance, that was about $450. Then there were other documents we needed to the long term study visa: criminal background check, health exam, bank statements show we had at least $700/month to cover expenses (per person). There were a few other costs for us, translating documents and getting the background check apostilled, and the travel expenses to go to the Spanish consulate assigned to where we live. All in, it was about $14,000 not including airfare.”
“Many city governments have free Spanish lessons for expats. Check with the local Ayuntamiento”
“Youth Mobility Visa or Student Visa.”
In conclusion, the overall costs of learning Spanish in Spain can vary depending on the length of the program and additional expenses, such as health insurance and translations of documents needed for the visa application. It is essential to do thorough research and seek advice from reliable sources such as immigration lawyers to ensure a smooth application process. Furthermore, exploring various visa options, such as the Youth Mobility Visa or Student Visa, may also be worth considering. You may also contact directly the schools as many of them are used to obtain the necessary documentation to obtain the Student Visa in order to attend school in Spain.
