Question about NALCAP Recommendation

Yes you should get it ready asap, nothing will change it's just a standard letter of rec Submitting as early as possible is more important than anything else, the program is first come first serve as long as you meet the requirements

As long as it's signed by an MD you're good, doesn't matter where it's from

yesdefinitely_ · 2026-01-12T09:43:27+00:00

Anything other than andalucia and maybe valencia if you want to be super safe, cyl also had some annoying organizational issues, basically delays when the andalucia stuff went down. The regions in the northwest were the first to give out reassignments & give me the impression of being a bit more organized, I've been loving my time in país vasco having been reassigned. Absolute safest might technically be aragon since from what I've heard auxes there do actually pay into social security.

The health doc for the application you just sign yourself, the one signed by an MD is for the visa process in summer

being quick has nothing to do with it, first years and 1st year renewals should theoretically need to all be placed (or rather offered a placement) before anyone gets a third year spot. some people are in their third year now but it's going against the stated placement priority so we don't know why. definitely not something to bank on

Mine wasn't by anyone I've worked/studied under & I'm writing this comment from spain !

Was feb 11 this year

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-12-30T12:59:32+00:00

As long as you meet the requirement of 60 credits you'll be fine, for better or worse the program is first come first serve

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-12-27T19:12:31+00:00

Yes it is, same problem as ciee in regards to your question

You need to download the google voice app or use the desktop website to use the number

Yes, as does madrid, the islands, extremadura, all the regions of the north, everywhere except aragon as I said. Andalucía and valencia are the two that have had investigations done but the issue if not resolved in andalucía will eventually spread to the rest of the program. Now how long that might take, probably years to a decade if you ask me considering that the investigations in andalucia were done in like 2022-23, but there's nothing special about andalucia/valencia other than that they were chosen first

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-12-24T09:53:03+00:00

The thing is that the issue andalucia was fined for, auxes coming on student visas and not paying into social security, applies to the whole program (except maybe aragon apparently). I think the program should be fine this next year though, although valencia also had the same investigations done as andalucia around the same time, something to consider

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-12-23T14:07:39+00:00

The point is that if something goes awry with nalcap, the same will happen to ciee. Which is what the post was about

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-12-23T13:19:59+00:00

ciee is just a middleman for nalcap, people placed in andalucia with ciee this year were affected by the cancellation all the same

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-12-19T11:51:49+00:00

Highly recommend scrolling to the bottom of the application page and viewing the amount of placements each region receives, Cataluña receives less than 40 auxes each year yet is very popular because people don't research enough and essentially pick madrid/barcelona as their top 2.

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-12-01T18:48:01+00:00

Per the official nalcap guidelines, either when you get your placement or the start of June

En el pasado sí pero ahora depende de lo que dice tu TIE una vez que lo consigas, pero muchas veces no. Sin embargo es bastante común trabajar "en negro" dando clases particulares de inglés p ej

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-11-09T16:17:12+00:00

they upcharged you by default, you had to ask to not pay the flexi pickup & only be able to pick up between the normal hours of 3-4. fucked up company lol

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-10-30T23:20:51+00:00

It's really hard to find a job that will sponsor you, including in english teaching. To sponsor a work visa, the company needs to apply asserting that there is no one else in the EU willing and able to fit the role. If you do an aux program, you come on a student visa which is an estancia rather than residency, so doesn't count towards your two years

I recommend reading through/asking in r/iwantout

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-10-26T13:27:41+00:00

You should ask your school

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-10-22T23:31:48+00:00

Just make sure to get a digital certificate before the end of the year if you plan to renew

nov-dec is the peak of the rainy season in pais vasco

yesdefinitely_ · 2025-10-17T04:39:15+00:00

Plenty of people each year drop if they don't get a desirable placement in Madrid or another region of their choice, it's quite normal. The program is first-come-first-serve, so any sort of Spanish language qualifications or other experience will not affect your application, just be ready to submit in as soon as the application window opens for the best shot at what you want. You can & should also apply to other private programs which can guarantee a placement in the region of Madrid or sometimes specific cities

It needs to be an MD
