Assistance in obtaining a student visa

1. Preparation for application

We started work in April 2024. Yuri had already chosen a university, and now needed to get a student visa. We waited for confirmation of tuition payment and official enrollment, after which we helped request the necessary papers from the university for the student visa application.

We began by sending the bachelor’s diploma for apostille, and then translating it through a sworn translator. This took the most time. In parallel, we completed application forms, then organized sworn translations of all required documents, working directly with translators.

2. Document submission

Submission date: June 16, 2024

3. Additional request

Date of additional request: June 23, 2024

We needed to confirm that the rented student accommodation was fully paid. We sent a rental agreement, and also duplicated confirmation of accommodation payment.

4. Approval received

Approval date: July 28, 2024

5. Fingerprint submission

Fingerprint submission date: September 2, 2024

After the visa was inserted and Yuri arrived in Spain, we immediately began looking for an appointment to submit fingerprints. In summer, it’s very difficult to find available dates in major cities, so the search was prolonged.

6. Receiving the residence card
