Most students who go to study in Spain will entrust study abroad institutions to help them apply for visa materials and apply for Spanish language schools. Therefore, it is very important to choose a high-quality study abroad institution. The agency fee for studying in Spain is about 10,000, so I hope you choose carefully.

Since studying abroad in Spain requires a visa interview in Spanish, learning Spanish in China is a top priority and is related to whether you can successfully obtain a visa. Therefore, you must choose a specialized Spanish training school to study, so that students will be much more confident about getting a Spanish study visa.

Sign up and pay a fee to participate in 500 hours of Spanish learning in China, and sign a contract with a study abroad institution to pay the first installment After the service fee is paid, we will start preparing materials for studying abroad (fund journal, deposit, parents’ income certificate, no criminal record, etc.).

While learning the language, the study abroad agency helps you apply for a language school in Spain, pay the tuition for the language school, and then get an official language school admission notice.

Some study abroad institutions pay the second installment of service fees after students officially receive the admission notice from the language school. Then assist the students in preparing and reviewing visa materials and test the students’ Spanish proficiency. Some study abroad institutions help schools prepare review materials and test students' Spanish proficiency. After students finally get their visas, they pay the second installment of study abroad service fees. So both situations are possible, and you can choose according to your own situation.

4. Make an appointment for an interview
