Legal procedures
- Students from the European Union
Professors and students who are EU citizens have no legal formalities to complete before coming to Spain. In accordance with current legislation, all students belonging to a European Union or European Economic Area member state, as well as the Swiss Confederation, and who intend to reside in Spain for a period longer than three months must register at the Central Registry Office for Foreigners (Registro Central de Extranjeros) in order to be issued a certificate of registration and an identity card for foreigners (NIE).
The certificate of registration can be obtained without prior appointment and in person at any of the national police stations (Comisaría) close to your place of residence. If you live in Barcelona you will need to go to the police station of the Barceloneta district (Avinguda Joan de Borbó, 32).
The documents you will need to provide are the following:
- Two copies of the registration form
- Pay the corresponding fees and submit the proof of payment
- Original and one photocopy of your passport or national identity card
- Original and one photocopy of your registration or admission letter
- Medical insurance
- Sworn statement of having economical means during your stay in Spain
Health Cover for European Union citizens:
Any foreign student, researcher or professor coming to UAB must have medical insurance cover.
If you are a citizen of the European Union or a citizen of Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland, and you are entitled to social security in your country, you should apply for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). This card makes visiting a state-run hospital, doctor's surgery or dental practice in European countries easier and means you will be treated in the same way as someone who lives in that country.
You can obtain a card free of charge by contacting your local health insurance institution as each individual country is responsible for producing or distributing the card in its own territory.
Take into account that the card does not cover private health care or repatriation costs. Visit the EHIC website to find out more.
- Students from outside of the European Union
Period of studies up to three months:
- The European Directive EC Nº 539/2001 March 15th, 2001 includes in its annex II the countries whose nationals are exempted from the obligation to obtain a visa for study periods of up to three months. Those have to fulfil the legal requisites described in article 5 of the Schengen Code, and in case of having to prolong the stay, it is possible to request an extension for a maximum of three more months.
- The European Directive EC Nº 539/2001 of March 15th, 2001 includes in its annex I the countries whose nationals are submitted to the visa obligation (type C) to enter the Schengen Area.
Period of studies up to six months:
There is a visa (type D) for studies that allows you to stay in Spain for a period of up to 180 days (Visado D Estudios hasta 180 días). This type of visa does not allow you to obtain the Residence Card for foreign students (TIE).
Period of studies longer than six months:
Those non-EU citizens who are going to study in Spain for a period of more than six months have to apply for an open visa for studies (type D). This type of visa (Visado D Estudios, Investigación) is valid for three months for entering the Schengen Area and once you have entered Spain you have to obtain the Student Residence Card for Foreigners (TIE) in order to remain legally in Spain.
The TIE is a temporary permit that permits you to stay in the country for the period of your studies. The card is valid for a maximum of one academic year and can be renewed annually until you finish your studies. Your academic performance will be taken into account when renewing your permit. The document gives you the right to remain legally in the country while you study.
You will have a maximum of 30 days after entering the European Union to begin the process of applying for the Student Residence Card (TIE). For this, you will need to present your flight ticket (boarding ticket) or the stamp on your passport showing the date in which you entered the European Union.
You can apply for a visa through your nearest Spanish Embassy or Consulate.
Important: A visa can never be changed once you are in Spain. The only visa valid is the one obtained from the Spanish Embassy or Consulate before coming to Spain.
Health Cover non-EU citizens:
Any foreign student, researcher or professor coming to a Catalan university must have medical insurance cover.
If you are from outside of the European Economic Area you should check whether there is an agreement for healthcare between the Social Security of your country and the Social Security of Spain. If there is such an agreement, you should submit the necessary documents in your country so that you can have free access to Spanish public healthcare.
In the case of renewing your Residence Card (NIE, TIE) you have to check if the above mentioned document replaces the obligation to present a private medical insurance regarding illness and accidents (Social Security does not include the repatriation to your home country).
If your country has no healthcare agreement with the Spanish Social Security system, you should take out private insurance cover for the whole time of your stay in Spain.

Meet Catalonia
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a land full of landscapes, towns and cities that will make you dream. Just a few kilometers from the city you'll find incredible places where you can spend the day and experience the extraordinary culture of Catalonia. During the summer, the festivals in these towns and villages of Catalonia will allow you to enjoy unique traditions such as the castellers (human towers), the giants and the correfocs (fire-runs). The Monastery of Montserrat, the city of Girona and the beaches of the Costa Brava are some of the most emblematic places. Here are some examples:
Costa Brava: Coves of deep blue sea, beaches of golden sand, natural parks, medieval towns, the works of Salvador Dalí… This is the tempting combination of Girona’s Costa Brava. This is the area of Catalonia from Blanes to Portbou with fascinating cities like Girona and old fishing villages with little whitewashed houses like Cadaqués. Undoubtedly a great place to enjoy the pleasant climate of the Mediterranean, visit some of its Michelin-starred restaurants, or follow the Empordà D.O. Wine Route. The Costa Brava is always a good choice.
La Garrotxa: Forty volcanic cones and more than 20 lava casts welcome you to La Garrotxa, north of Girona. This landscape, the best example of volcanic land formation on the peninsular, is only two hours by car from Barcelona. Nature lovers will be thrilled at unforgettable experiences amongst the forests and volcanoes that typify this region.
Girona: This charming town is located in the northeast of Catalonia. Girona’s Old Town is a must-see. The narrow streets and colorful buildings will transport you back in time. You can visit the Cathedral of Girona, which dates back to the 11th century, and the Jewish Quarter, which is one of the best-preserved in Europe.
Terres de Lleida: Terres de Lleida has a lot to see and much more to do. Discover the agricultural essence of an intensely coloured landscape: blue skies, green forests, golden fields, and brightly blooming fruit trees. A place full of history that invites you to live it with all your senses.
Pirineus: Delve into the wildest nature. Breathe the clean air of the mountains and their valleys, admire the most spectacular landscapes.
Montserrat: Montserrat mountain and its monastery have always been an important symbol of Catalonia´s history, spiritual beliefs and culture, and is also the home of the religious figure of the Mare de Déu de Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia. The mountain, scene of numerous legends, has an interesting configuration: it is an immense mass of rock which stands out against the sky with a series of unusually-shaped peaks.
Tarragona: A city full of surprises with thousands of years of civilization just waiting to be discovered. Dine under the vaults of the Roman circus, get lost in the charming, narrow alleys of the historic quarter, where the essence of the medieval city remains untouched by time, or enjoy a glass of local vermouth surrounded by over 2,000 years of history. This is the true World Heritage of Tarragona! It is a heritage made up of monuments that transcend time, of spots that take us back to Roman, medieval, modern and modernist eras.
Val d’Aran: Val d’Aran is a hidden treasure in the middle of the Catalan Pyrenees. A place where the wildest and most exuberant nature merges. A place where you can practice adventure sports you are passionate about, and get lost in ancient landscapes.
Terres de l’Ebre: Terres de l’Ebre is an explosion of colours and life, where nature coexists with culture. Where beaches and mountains are among unique landscapes. A land of contrasts, of rural character, and an exciting history. With the Ebre river as the protagonist and witness of a story intertwined with the land. Come and be captivated by the unique charm of Terres de l’Ebre!
Costa Daurada: Costa Daurada, a land of Mediterranean character with sandy beaches, vineyards, and olive trees, invites you to experience its mixture of tradition and modernity, a rich historical heritage full of joy.
If you're an exchange student, don't miss the opportunity to discover Catalonia! You'll fall in love with it!
