Etiquette for visiting a house in Spain?


Etiquette for visiting a house in Spain?
I am from Sweden, now I am in Spain (student) and I am going to visit a Spanish home. I haven't done this before. What's the etiquette? What gift should I bring? If the invitation is on 8 going there at 8.30 is good time? Should I offer to remove my shoes?

Be on time always if you can, although the spanish never are!! If you have been invited to eat, take a bottle of something, flowers for the lady of the house or some chocolates. As for removing your shoes, that is not on the list of priorities.

I agree with the other answerer, be on time, if they have invited you for dinner take a bottle of wine, and yes you could take flowers or something for the lady of the house. No don't offer to take your shoes off. Be prepared to eat alot, Spanish mothers like to feed people up, i remember first time i met my mother in law, she must of thought i was under nourished the amout of food she tried to make me eat. Most of all, enjoy yourself.

Be on time,first of all (The topic that Spanish never are on time isn´t true.There´re unpunctual people everywhere). Do not offer to remove your shoes.We don´t do it in Spain. Wear something nice,sccording to the people you are visiting.If they are very formal,a suit.If they aren´t very formal,jeans or trousers and a shirt (a shirt always looks ellegant,even if it´s informal) As a present,bring a nice bottle of wine.We Spanish always appreciate a good bottle,and it´s always a nice well received present.And if you wish,a box of chocolates or some flowers for the lady of the house.She´ll be happy as well. Have a nice visit! :)

If you have a US passport, according to these days regulations, you will not need a visa as long as you are staying less than 3 months, after three months you will need one. It is best to contact the Spanish Embassy closer to you for updates on the subject. You want to get reliable info on this. I studied in the best summer program available in Spain, in order to prepare for the semester. School is rather challenging in Spain, and more so if your level in Spanish is not that high. Once you get used to the lifestyle, and the people, rules, manners, etc... and above all the Spanish language, through a shorter stay program, you are ready to dive into the Spanish official school system, which is one of the hardest... If you wanted to spend a short term in Spain, I recommend www.beautifulspain.com Have fun and study lots of Spanish before you arrive in Spain as not many speak English there, which is great in order to learn lots more!

If you stay for longer period than three months, you definitely need a student visa because countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and France realy stress that you have one.

My student visa extension was denied. Can I return back to Spain for a 90 day visa-free period?


My student visa extension was denied. Can I return back to Spain for a 90 day visa-free period?
I'm a high school student with a study abroad program. I had a 180 day visa... it expired March 1. I came back to the states February 8 to renew my visa so I could stay the whole school year, but it was denied for some reason. Could I go back this next week for a 90 day visa-free period? I don't want to take any serious risks.

If you are a US citizen, a visa is not required for an entry of 90 days as a visitor to Spain. If the student visa was denied and you want to return as a visitor but actually intend to attend school, you may encounter difficulties.
2 :
If your visa was denied you cannot go back to your studies. No you cannot go back on the visa waiver program.

It depends on your status in Germany. If you are a legal resident and hold a residence permit, then you can use this in conjunction to travel freely as a tourist within the Schengen zone, and therefore as Spain is also a member then it is not a problem If you do not hold a residence permit then you will have to apply for a visa to visit Spain and normally this would be obtained from your home country and the Spanish embassy there. Otherwise you could try with the Spanish embassy in Germany, but if you are there illegally it will flag you of course.
