SOAPI Informational Session

The City of Barcelona's Orientation and Accompaniment Service for Immigrants (SOAPI) offers informational sessions designed to welcome and assist newcomers. These sessions last for an hour and a half and are held in-person at the Eixample District office. Two sessions are scheduled each month, excluding August, with options for both morning and afternoon attendance. Registration is required in advance via the linked form. The sessions cover a variety of important topics for immigrants in Barcelona, including an introduction to the local environment, information on immigration procedures and services, language learning opportunities, education recognition and validation, rights and responsibilities, community norms, public services, first accommodation services, and basic procedures such as registration and obtaining health cards. Attendees receive a participation certificate, which may be useful for some immigration procedures. For more information, participants can contact the service
