Studying and staying legally in Fuerteventura

Between the language schools, the kitesurf courses and the dive centres, Fuerteventura pulls in students from every corner of the map. If you are a non-EU national studying here for more than 90 days, you will need a student visa first and, once you land, a student NIE and TIE.

The paperwork to gather

  • An acceptance letter from your school, academy or university in Fuerteventura
  • Proof you have enough funds to cover the whole stay
  • Private health insurance that is valid in Spain
  • A police clearance from back home plus a doctor's health certificate
  • The student visa itself, stamped at a Spanish consulate before you fly

Once you have landed

Within 30 days of touching down in Fuerteventura you give your fingerprints and apply for the student TIE. We help you pull the file together and pin down the appointment so it does not eat into your first weeks on the island.
