It is necessary to check in each case what documentation is required depending on the student&#8217;s country of origin. Among them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Original, valid passport<\/li>\n<li>Letter of acceptance or certificate of admission from the school<\/li>\n<li>Two photographs<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/cmi-health-insurance-offer-sanitas-international-students\/\">Medical insurance<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Medical certificate<\/li>\n<li>Proof of financial means<\/li>\n<li>Visa application form (downloadable from the website of the Spanish consulate in your country)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On medical insurance, we would remind you that <a href=\"https:\/\/cmi.es\/en\/cmi-health-insurance-offer-sanitas-international-students\/\">CMI Business School has reached an agreement with Sanitas health insurance<\/a>, through which our students may, if they wish, obtain substantial discounts on international medical cover.<\/p>\n<p>In some countries a flight ticket or booking to Spain is also usually requested, along with proof of accommodation. It is also advisable to bring the receipt for the enrolment fee. Once these documents are gathered, you will need to book an appointment with the Spanish consulate in your country and check the specific information they request on their website.<\/p>\n<p>After those steps, once you are one of our students, you will receive a student guide explaining which documents you need to apply for once you arrive in Madrid, the neighbourhoods our student community favours, approximate monthly costs, and places of interest \u2014 so as to make your arrival at the institution as pleasant as possible.<\/p>\n<p>This guidance forms part of our commitment to fostering a multicultural environment, so that people learn about different business cultures and are able to lead international organisations while taking local characteristics and traditions into account, for greater effectiveness in business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 70% of our students come from a Latin American country, so one of the most frequent questions from those interested in coming to study with us in Spain is: how do I apply for a Spanish visa?
