Long-Term Spanish Language Visa Courses in Barcelona
20 hrs a Week – Spain Study Visa Eligible

Why Combine a TEFL Course with a Spanish Language Course in Barcelona?

Our Spanish Language Visa Course in Barcelona is a long-term 20-hour a week program accredited by the Instituto Cervantes that fulfils the requirements for the Spanish Study Visa, allowing Americans, British and other non-EU citizens to legally live and work as English teachers up to 30 hours/week in Barcelona. It’s also one of the very best ways to learn Spanish while living and working in beautiful Barcelona!

Sign up for our Spanish Language Visa Course in Barcelona and we’ll guide you through the entire process of applying for your Spanish Student Visa at no extra charge.

We’ve helped countless Americans, British and other non-EU citizens obtain their long-term student visas and work permits in Barcelona, and we can help you too.

The majority of our TEFL graduates stay in Barcelona after qualifying to teach English, free to live, work and experience the culture like a true local.

Update: Whereas previously the above seemed to only apply to English teachers on a “convenio de prácticas” contract ( paid internship ), since the new immigration law came into effect in May 2025, we have seen that many of our TEFl grads studying a Spanish course when applying for their TIE ( Student ID card ) are receiving a receipt document with permission to work, not necessarily restricted to teaching English.

Course and Work Testimonials

Gül Arslan, Turkey

“I have been studying Spanish language in BCNLIP for a month and my experience so far has been great!

The classes are fully equipped with all kinds of tools and are designed according to the students’ needs.

There are different classes in different locations but all of them are located in Gotico which is great in terms of transportation.

In case you cannot make it to the school that day, you can join the class via Zoom and it is just as if you are in the classroom! I was quite impressed how easy it was made when I first saw some of my classmates on the screen.

There are always people at the reception in case of any question or doubt.

The teachers are native Spanish teachers and my teachers have been not only very nice and friendly, but also super fun! Every Friday, the school arranges different immersion activities around Barcelona such as visiting museums, going for hiking etc.

That is a great opportunity to make new friends and practice speaking Spanish. Highly recommended!”

“Moving to another country when you don’t speak their language can be scary and difficult. Not to mention how difficult it can be to find a program for an extended visa. However, the school helps people obtain long-term visas and learn quickly and adapt to local culture.

The immersion classes give people a new perspective of life in Barcelona from both the past and present. The teachers at the school are understanding and flexible, which reduces the stress of moving and learning a new language.

I highly recommend the Spanish Visa Course for people of all ages and backgrounds who are trying to move to the fantastic city of Barcelona.”
