Visiting students.

The status of “Visiting student” is a mode of registration that has no academic effects but is done rather for personal reasons, and it cannot be combined with ordinary registration for the same programme. Registration as a visiting student grants temporary access to the services of the University of Seville that are available for the development of the student’s activities and will only entitle them to the issuing of the corresponding certificate. Activities carried out in the programme as a visiting student will not entitle the student to obtain a university degree.

Required documentation:

M03B-Registration application form for external students duly completed.
DNI (Spanish students), NIE (foreign students), Certificates of Residence Rights or European Union Citizens Card. Exceptionally, foreign students may present their passport, but only if they do not have a NIE.
One passport-size photograph.
Proof of current registration in PhD studies at their home university.
Proof of health coverage in Spain.

All documentation must be official and submitted, where appropriate, legalised by the statutory channels and officially translated.
