My Experience With RVF

They were extremely helpful and informative. Even though I was one of many they helped, their extremely prompt responses and helpful service still seemed individualized. They took every question I had seriously and responded very quickly. I definitely couldn’t have gone through the visa and application process without them. Even now that I’m in Spain they still are extremely helpful, ensuring I go through all the (perplexing) bureaucratic processes as smoothly as possible. I recommend RVF to everyone who would like to live and work in Spain.

RVF International

RVF was very helpful in this entire process, especially through the complicated visa process. While it was months of hard work and could be very stressful at times, I am so happy to now be in Spain and could not have done it without the help of the RVF team. They are excellent about replying to emails in a timely manner, so that helped ease a lot of my nerves. Now I am enjoying a wonderful, life changing adventure in Valencia. I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and made the decision to travel abroad.

RVF International - Spain

RVF was professional and welcoming from the start.
If you are thinking about teaching in Spain, RVF is the way to go!
The application process was easy to figure out and the program specialists walk you through it each step of the way.
Unfortunately, I am unable to participate next year, but I will most definitely be recommending RFV to my friends and family. When given the next opportunity, this will be the program I choose.
RVF is there to guide you through and their response time is quick.
I am glad I found RVF and you will be too!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Set up a meeting with them and they will make you feel at ease.

Superb Experience with RVF International

I started with RVF, with a curiosity in mind. For one, as someone who has never been to Spain, I immediately wanted to know everything about Spain. RVF eased my mind, and immediately provided an easy blueprint, as to how to get there. Perhaps what struck me as the best aspect about RVF, however, was the caring and compassionate nature of the RVF team. Everyone on the team went above and beyond to make sure that any concerns we had were addressed and conquered! They truly are an amazing team!!!!!

RVF: really as great as they claim to be!

Moving abroad was simultaneously an exhilarating and terrifying idea. After all, I already had the American dream: great house, stable career, safe and happy community. However, I felt stuck, and I wanted to be able to see the world! The problem: how do my husband and I move overseas when all we have to offer is that we both are licensed English teachers? RVF solved that for us right away! Not only did they make getting a visa really simple, but they were always an email away if I had questions. I know it seems too good to be true--I was really hesitant to join their program because how could they do all this work and place me AND my spouse in the same city in a foreign country AND ensure we both would get jobs? I know it seems impossible and like a scam, but this company is legit and they were so helpful. I never could have done all this on my own--all the bureaucracy and paperwork and legal stuff was just too overwhelming to think about while I also needed to sell and pack up my entire life in the states. Not to worry, RVF babied me with constant reminder emails, quick responses to my questions, and plenty of communication when I arrived to Spain to help me transition. I don't regret working with them AT ALL!!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
STOP WORRYING! I am always so anxious and a total perfectionist. Moving to Spain changed my life and made me chill out. I've learned that as long as you follow the directions, everything will work out. RVF had me in good hands the whole time, so I wish I would have stopped worrying and doubting and just enjoyed the excitement every step of the way. At least I get to do that now in Spain, every day, while sitting on my balcony looking at the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean :)

RVF International makes teaching in Spain stress-free!

RVF International not only assists you in the process of going abroad to teach in Spain, but it also enables you to find a community of people to share the experience with. Whether it's paperwork, appointments, Spanish-lessons, or cultural presentations, RVF makes the process so easy. The documentation required for going abroad was an insane amount, especially if you aren't 100% fluent in the language. RVF handles translations, instructions, and everything you need. They are always responsive to questions (even on the weekends!) and go above and beyond to make the experience super easy. Highly recommend!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
My most nerve-racking moment thus far has been the hectic visa-process in Spain (receiving an identity number and card), however, with the help of RVF, everything was so simple. They set up all of my appointments and tell me everything I need to know.

RVF International

From my first interview with Carlos, and so on, I knew RVF was the right program for me. Everyone on the team that I spoke to have been so helpful. Especially Lourdes! She has been able to answer every single question I have. Every time I sent up a zoom call with her, she is so patient with me, especially when needed to mail out papers. The processes alone for the VISA, could be very stressful, but with RVF being there for me every step of the way things went pretty smoothly.

I know that RVF has a fee for their program, but all honestly it is very well worth it. I genuinely believe, that if I didn't have their support, I probably would have missed some paperwork, or important step. Who knowns, I might have not gotten my VISA, and been able to go on this amazing adventure.

From the start, RVF always kept everyone on check, from sending us checklist of what we need to do, to showing us how to fill out certain applications. Also, they were very informative with COVID restrictions and keep un updated if anything would change.

1000/10 I really do recommend this program.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
When thinking about it, or given the chance to live abroad, JUST DO IT. Do not think about it, and sign up for that program.

Also, as the day got closer for me to leave my friends, family, and my whole life in the States, you just have to push through. It is very natural to start feeling very nervous. I even started thinking to myself if I should even get on the airplane. Am I going to regret doing this program? I cried on my flight, and when I arrived to Spain, but after a few days, and meeting people from the program, I knew I was going to be okay. I was excited for all the adventures to come and people I will meet.

Fantastic & Very Safe & Reliable Company

RVF made the whole visa process so simple, and they still help me whilst I'm living in Spain. RVF is really supportive and I am so happy I worked with them to move abroad. This is my first time outside of the USA, and I couldn't feel safer. I also believe we get a lot of perks as Americans in Spain, because of our salary and limited working hours. We are very lucky to have an opportunity as this, and it really shows our privilege, as well. Teaching in Spain is so rewarding and it also looks absolutely fantastic for anyone's resume. You have to try it!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Boarding the plane was so nerve-racking, but I knew RVF would continue to help me even after I got to Spain. I also stayed in an AirBnb all by myself (I've never lived on my own before) and it was quite scary at first. Now, I live with a host family, which I recommend everyone to do.
