Phase 2:
Arrival & Orientation

Airport Meet-and-Greet: If you are on a designated flight, our team will be waiting at the airport to welcome you to Seville. We will meet you right at arrivals and help you find a taxi to get to your new housing.

The Orientation: Our extensive on-site orientation goes beyond the basics. We cover safety protocols, academic expectations, cultural adaptation, and city navigation to ensure you feel confident from Day 1.

Student IDs: Upon arrival, you will receive an ICS Student I.D., along with University of Seville ID (if applicable) for full access to campus perks, libraries, and student discounts.

Phase 3:
Duty of Care

24/7 Emergency Support: We maintain a dedicated on-site emergency line for our students. Our local staff is always available to ensure you are safe and supported whenever you need us.

Comprehensive Insurance: All students are covered by a top-tier health insurance plan with no co-pays and no deductibles. This coverage is fully compliant with Spanish visa laws.

Mental Health Resources: ICS provides guidance and referrals to confidential, English-speaking mental health professionals in Seville and supports students in accessing appropriate care.

Spanish Visa & Immigration

Navigating Spanish immigration requires careful preparation. If your program is longer than 90 days, you must have a valid Student Visa issued before you board your flight to Spain.

Because immigration laws change constantly and every regional consulate operates by its own set of rules, your first step is to identify the specific consulate that holds jurisdiction over your permanent home or university address.
