Procedures
Whether you are an EU or non-EU citizen, you have to go through a series of procedures and there is information you should know beforehand, to make your stay as easy as possible. You should find out about the education system and the health service, as well as other things like whether you have to register at your local town hall? Do you need a medical card? How can you get your qualifications recognised?
EU citizens
If your stay is for under 3 months, no certificate is necessary. For longer stays, you need a Foreign National Identification Number (NIE).
Non-EU citizens
You need a student visa in order to study. For research, the centre concerned will take care of the procedures.
Ratifying qualifications
A ratified foreign qualification has the same academic level and validity as a Spanish one.
