Information

If you need a student visa to study with IH Madrid, you first need to consult with the Spanish consulate in your country, preferably 120 days before coming to study with us.

These are the requirements for you to get an invitation letter from us:

*Booking an Intensive course of 20, 25 or 30 hours per week
*Payment of the entire course and accommodation (optional) by bank transfer and proof of payment.
*Photocopy of passport

The school will send confirmation of the course as well as a signed and sealed invitation letter to be submitted to the consulate or embassy by email.
If your request is rejected, we will need the document that denies your student visa. With this, IH Madrid will refund the full amount of the course, minus 250 euros for administration costs.
