Although the Consulate of Spain in the student's country, after fulfilling the established procedure, may grant the student a three month visa, it is necessary to complete the corresponding procedure in order to obtain a student permission for the duration of the course.

Once in Barcelona, the student should go early in the morning to the Government Office (Av. Marques de la Argentera nº 22 ) in order to complete this procedure. At this office the student will be given a list of the documents to be submitted, and once this is complied, the student shall be granted the corresponding identification document as a foreign student. This form can also be obtained at the Master's Secretariat.
