A continuación contarás con toda la información necesaria sobre la documentación que necesitas para estudiar en UAX:
Non European or non OLA
Necesitarás presentar el expediente académico que tengas hasta el momento de la solicitud y otros documentos que dependerán de los estudios que quieras realizar.
En el caso de que te encuentres viviendo en un Estado no afiliado a la Unión Europea, será necesario adquirir una póliza de seguro médico privado sin copago para validar tu visa de estudiante. Puede ser que exista un acuerdo de salud entre tu nación y España; en tal situación, se te otorgaría acceso a servicios médicos de manera similar a un residente español. Sin embargo, es importante destacar que este convenio solo abarcará la atención médica esencial y únicamente costeará los gastos de situaciones de urgencia.
Si eres residente en la unión europea, tendrás que estar en posesión de la Tarjeta de Salud Europea con validez mínima de tu estancia en la UAX.
