Students from some countries outside the EU may need a visa to travel to Spain.
You should check at the Spanish Embassy in your country for the visa requirements.
If it is very difficult to obtain a visa in your country, please ensure that, before sending your enrolment and reservation fee, you consult the authorities in the Spanish Consulate about your possibilities of being issued with a visa. Remember that the amount sent in payment of the reservation fee is non-refundable.
We recommend that students take out an insurance policy in their own country, which covers the following:
Medical expenses (especially for citizens of non-EU countries)
Baggage loss, cancellation of travel, repatriation in the case of need and civil liability
Students who have requested this service must pay the fee in advance. The proof of payment and full flight details must be sent to DILE by fax or e-mail at least one week before the course starts.
If you have asked DILE to arrange the reservation of a studio or private apartment, three weeks before the starting date of your stay you should send a deposit equivalent to 50% of the price and inform DILE, by e-mail, telephone or fax, of the payment made. This amount will be held in deposit against damages, and will be returned to the student at the end of the stay, on returning the keys, minus the cost of any damage incurred.
An invoice will be given to the student when he/she starts the course and includes the following items: enrolment (65 €) + course chosen + accommodation if you have requested it.
The amount received in payment of the reservation fee will be deducted from the total amount on the invoice.
Payments made by bank transfer must be made at least 7 days before the starting date of the course. The student must bring the original proof payment with him/her to DILE. Bank transfers must reach our account free of charges.
DILE reserves the right to pass on to the student any bank charges made on his/her bank transfer.

In all cases, any fees incurred in the payment or refund of all amounts must be paid by the student who cancels the course.
For enrolments made through an agency, no refunds will be made if the student´s reason for the cancellation is not supported by sufficient documentation.
DILE is open all year round except on national and local holidays, and DILE is closed from 22nd December to 7th January due to lack of business.
We recommend that the student check which holidays fall within the period of his/her stay as no refunds or extra days are given for these classes.
If a holiday falls on a Monday the course starts the next day.
If a student is absent from class, those classes cannot be recuperated.
In order to be given an attendance certificate at the end of the course, the student must have attended at least 95% of the classes and justify all absences.
For the whole duration of the programme, at all times and in all circumstances, students are responsible for their own belongings, and also for their actions and the consequences of their actions.

The student agrees to abide by the regulations established by DILE for enrolment, classes, activities and accommodation.
