Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to homologate a physiotherapy degree in Spain?+
The official government fee is €166.50, paid via Modelo 790-107. Additional costs include Apostilles, sworn translations, and any supplementary training required by ANECA.
How long does the physiotherapist homologation process take in Spain?+
The process typically takes 12 to 24 months, depending on document preparation and ANECA's workload. Incomplete applications or curriculum deficiencies can extend the timeline significantly.
Which ministry handles physiotherapist homologation in Spain?+
Applications are submitted to the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, which requests a technical evaluation from ANECA. The Ministerio de Sanidad governs the actual right to practise once homologated.
What is ANECA's role in the physiotherapy homologation?+
ANECA evaluates your curriculum against Orden CIN/2135/2008 and identifies any academic deficiencies. Its technical report directly determines whether your homologation is approved, conditional, or refused.
What happens if ANECA finds gaps in my degree?+
If deficiencies are 600 contact hours or fewer, ANECA issues a conditionally favourable report and you must complete supplementary training at a Spanish university. Deficiencies above 600 hours result in an unfavourable report.
Can professional experience offset curriculum gaps?+
Yes — ANECA allows up to 36 ECTS (15% of the curriculum) to be recognised through duly accredited professional experience. You must provide official documentation proving that experience.
Do I need a Spanish language certificate to homologate my physiotherapy degree?+
Yes, a B2-level Spanish certificate is required unless you are a national of a Spanish-speaking country, completed 75% of your degree in Spanish, or completed pre-university studies in Spanish.
Does my physiotherapy degree need a minimum number of years or credits?+
Yes — your degree must be at least 4 years long and comprise a minimum of 240 ECTS credits, including at least 1,000 hours of supervised clinical training, in line with Orden CIN/2135/2008.
Do I need to have the right to practise in my home country to apply?+
Yes — you must provide official documentation proving you are authorised to practise physiotherapy in the country that issued your degree. Without this, your application will not be accepted.
Where do I submit the homologation application?+
Applications are submitted exclusively through the electronic office (Sede Electrónica) of the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades. Physical submissions are not accepted.
Do all my documents need to be apostilled and translated?+
Yes — every foreign-language document must carry a Hague Apostille (or diplomatic legalisation) and be accompanied by an official sworn translation into Spanish. Missing legalisation is the most common reason for delays.
Can I work as a physiotherapist in Spain while my homologation is being processed?+
Generally, no — physiotherapy is a regulated profession in Spain and you cannot practise legally without the official homologation resolution. Some supervised or research-based roles may be possible; consult a specialist.
Are there additional costs during the homologation process?+
Yes, when making the official submission, a Ministry fee must be paid (€166.50). Prior to this, our team will have reviewed all your documentation to ensure it meets the established criteria. This cost applies to all professions except medical specialist.
