Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@selinvefa.es if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Can I use my health insurance from my home country for residency in Spain?

For most residency applications, the Spanish government requires a specific private health insurance policy valid in Spain. International or home-country insurance is not accepted. I help clients choose the right insurance to ensure their residency application is approved smoothly.

What is the process if I want help with Education Consulting in Spain?

At Selin Vefa Consulting Services, we guide you step by step through the Spanish education system. Whether you are a student wishing to continue your studies, a family seeking the right school for your child, or a professional interested in higher education opportunities.

The process begins with a personal consultation where we understand your background, goals, and preferred study path. Then we map out suitable options—public or private universities, conservatories, language schools, or international programs—always considering tuition fees, admission requirements, application deadlines, and language prerequisites.

Once we identify the right institutions, we assist with document preparation (such as high school diploma recognition, translations, and legalizations), coordinate application submissions, and provide guidance for entrance exams or interviews. We also ensure that your residency status in Spain is aligned with your education plans.

In short: we simplify the bureaucracy, highlight the best opportunities, and accompany you until enrollment, so you can focus on your studies and integration in Spain with peace of mind.

I heard the Golden Visa is no longer available. What are my options to live in Spain?

Yes, the Golden Visa program has been removed. However, there are still several alternatives, such as the Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, or Business/Investor visas. I can guide you on which option best fits your situation.

Housing in Spain is difficult to find. Can you help us with this process?

Yes. Finding a home in Spain can be challenging, especially in big cities like Barcelona or Madrid. I provide support in the housing search, connecting you with trusted real estate agents and helping you understand contracts, rental requirements, and local regulations. My goal is to make sure you and your family feel secure and settled in your new home.

Do I need to stay in Spain after my residency application is approved?

This depends on the type of visa or residency permit. Some visas require a minimum stay, while others are more flexible. I provide clear guidance based on your chosen residency path.

Can I apply for a visa in Spain if I own a property there?

Owning a property in Spain does not automatically grant residency, but it can support your application in some visa categories. I help evaluate your case and connect property ownership with the right visa option.

Should I enroll my child in a public or private school in Spain?

Both options exist, but the choice depends on your child’s age, language ability, and long-term plans. I provide support in school transitions to help families choose the best fit between Spanish public, private, or international schools.

Are there English-language university options in Spain?

Yes. Many universities in Spain offer full degree programs or courses in English, especially in cities like Barcelona and Madrid. I assist families in exploring the right education path and admissions requirements.

We are worried about moving to Spain without speaking Spanish. Can you help us settle smoothly?

Absolutely. I provide relocation support not only for legal paperwork but also for daily life — from setting up utilities and banking to finding schools and healthcare. My goal is to make your transition stress-free.

Can you help with home and car insurance in Spain?

Yes. Whether you already own a property or recently bought a car, I provide insurance solutions that meet legal requirements and protect your assets in Spain.

Do you also organize personalized experiences or lifestyle support?

Yes. Beyond relocation and legal processes, I also help clients with personalized organization — from arranging daily essentials to recommending schools, cultural activities, and even weekend getaways. This tailored support ensures you not only settle into Spain smoothly but also enjoy and connect with your new surroundings.
