Hey, it's Marina, travel experta. And today we're going to be talking about enrolling your child in a school for your non lucrative visa application for Spain. You guys are ready for an adventure. Let's begin. This is not mentioned anywhere, but this has to be done because you will be told to get it done.
You will not get denied because of this. You'll simply be told to get this done, meaning it will delay your process probably by a month or two for the non lucrative visa. What is it? If you have children that are in school, meaning under the age of 17, you need to have them enrolled or you need a school, a private school, showing you that you have enrolled your child in that school. In Spain, home schooling is completely illegal.
So you need to show that your child is going to be going to a school because public schools cannot be bothered doing this. Chances are you are going to have to do this with a private school. We did this with a private school and we thought that we would be getting our non lucrative visa a lot quicker. Please don't listen to my episode about waiting and the right time of applying. So basically, we enrolled them and lost an entire month because we ended up waiting the entire 90 days.
Again, please don't listen to it. Anyways, you need to have a letter from the school showing that you are enrolled, which usually means that you have paid for the articulation or the inscription fee and at least one month of school. So be prepared. And private schools in Spain, they vary from five hundred dollars to one thousand dollars to one thousand five hundred dollars per month. So be ready to put that up front before you apply.
And then you need a letter from the school stating that you have already applied and everything else. And it has to be part of the application system. Okay? Ask your school to do it in Spanish. This way you do not need to have another payment of translating it into Spanish by a certified translator.
Okay? Really important guys. Make sure that you do this. This way it will expediate your process as well. If you have any questions, please let me know.
If you have had other feedback, I would love to hear about it. If you enjoyed this podcast, leave me a review, share it with your friends, and remember to make every day an adventure.
