You’re not just coming here to learn Spanish; you’re coming to experience Madrid while we ensure the paperwork doesn’t get in your way.

Why Choose Jaleo for Your Madrid Experience?

If you are looking to study Spanish in Madrid with a long-term visa, you need a school that understands your journey. At Jaleo, we guide our international students from the very first click until they have their TIE (Foreigner Identity Card) in hand.


Step 1: Book Your Visa Appointment

Timing is everything. You must schedule an appointment with the Spanish Embassy or Consulate in your home country. Slots fill up fast, so book as early as possible.

Step 2: Prepare Your Documents with Jaleo

Once you enroll, Jaleo will send you the critical documents required for a successful application:

  • Official Letter of Admission.

  • Proof of Course Payment.

Pro Tip: Always double-check your local consulate’s specific checklist, as requirements can vary slightly depending on your country.

Step 3: Enrollment & Visa Support

Our visa support is exclusive to full-time students. To formalize your enrollment so we can issue your certificates, you will need to:

  1. Complete the Jaleo enrollment form.

  2. Sign the terms and conditions.

  3. Pay a 40% deposit of the total course fee (Note: Some consulates require 100% payment upfront; let us know if you have questions about your specific location).

Step 4: Attend Your Appointment & Get Approved

Submit your application and get ready for the big news! Once your visa is approved, you’ll complete the process by paying the remaining 60% of your tuition to activate your study plan and arrival services.

Step 5: Arrive and Start Your Studies

Arrive on your chosen start date and jump straight into your classes. Madrid is waiting for you with open arms, and we’ll have everything ready for your first day at Jaleo.
