HOW TO GET A SPAIN STUDENT VISA | Applying Through Houston Consulate | Auxiliares de Coversacion 

*EDIT* I mentioned that the Houston consulate doesn't require the background check to be translated because last year it wasn't but this year they are requiring it to be translated to Spanish this year. Get it translated after you get the apostille back. You can google "certified translator" or "sworn translator" to get this done. From what I've seen it is around $50 to get this done.

Walkthrough of how to get a student visa for auxiliares de conversacion in Spain through the Houston Consulate. My personal experience as well tips on how to get started and avoid any mistakes.
Hi guys, now that everyone is starting to get their placement I thought it would be a good idea to make this video for what to expect while applying for your student visa for Spain. It can be confusing and stressful so hopefully this helps ease some of that stress. However feel free to leave any questions you may have below and I'll answer those for y'all!
Each consulate has slightly different rules so be sure to carefully read through the requirements of your specific consulate. I went through the Houston consulate since I live in Texas. Also, this visa process is specific to US applicants.
For the FBI background check you can get your fingerprints done electronically but it costs $50 extra so I opted for the in person prints and it costs $11 at my local police station. Go to the records department at your police station. Electronic fingerprints are quicker and are done at USPS. I got my mail in results back within about 8 days.
Refer to the link below for instructions on how to do this process. After you have your background check you send it in for the apostille. Get this done as soon as possible since this is what takes the longest (3-4 weeks).
