What the consulate will expect
- An acceptance letter from your school, university or centre in Bilbao

- Private health insurance valid throughout Spain
- A police clearance record together with a doctor's health certificate
- The student visa, secured at the Spanish consulate before you travel
Once you land
Within 30 days of arriving in Bilbao you register your fingerprints and lodge the application for your student TIE. We assemble the file and book the appointment so the deadline is never the problem.
Term dates rarely leave room for a slow start, and some students want the flat, the flights and the documents settled before they travel. Where that is the case, AnchorLess coordinates an arrival end to end from abroad, while the Bilbao appointment itself still runs through us.
In Bilbao
The Bilbao office sets the pace for the student visa across the Basque Country. Our team books your appointment, checks your documentación, and walks you through the day itself.
