If my student visa was denied, can I still go to Spain for a 90 day period?

If my student visa was denied, can I still go to Spain for a 90 day period?
I'm studying abroad in Spain, where I'm living with a host family, and going to school. I was originally just staying one semester, but I decided to change my stay to an entire year. In order to extend my stay, I had to renew my student visa by returning to the States first. My visa was denied in Madrid. If I appeal, the consulate said it could take up to 1.5 months to find out anything. I don't have time to appeal... could I still go to Spain without a visa and stay 90 days (no visa is required for a 90 day stay)? I would need to go to school, also.

yes you could try the Visa waiver whilst you appeal, but you run a risk of being deported. Unless you are a security risk you may just get away with it.

Nope. In fact, I've no idea where Vigo is. Why are you choosing such an isolated/unknown city? Is it a good school? Does it have what you're looking for? Is it the only one your school exchanges with? I'm sure, no matter what your reasons, you'll finish up, and for the rest of your life, you'll think of it as your other home. Have fun! (Advice: Immerse yourself completely! Try EVERYTHING! Stay for a full school year.) *edit* Okay...found a link....again...WHY there? (yeah...kinda far from everything...hope you like the beach...looks pretty.)

Summer study abroad programs to Spain for high school students?


Summer study abroad programs to Spain for high school students?
I'm a High School Junior. I'm planning on going to Spain this summer for about a month or so for language immersion, just that alot of the programs are soo expensive! Plus airfare is pretty costly as well. Does anyone know any good programs that cost from $3,000 - $4,500 that I can go with? Preferably one that offers dorms (i'd rather not homestay). Where in spain would be best to stay at, Barcelona or San Sebastion? Thanks ( :

Not off hand,,,it's been a while since I looked into such programs. However, if you contact some of the Universities there or a few Hostels, you will probably land some sweet deals. Do well!

Dear friend. As I know there are probably some high school counselors avaiable to you that could offer you information on such matter. Also there is a program at least here in Utah, where young high schoolers can get an advance college climatisierung . Where they can go to the University and receive college credit before going further into their expertise. Any how, on such occassion, you could go to the language department and they do sponsor students to go abroard to learn the native language. They could truly advice you it's their job. Here are some helpful links. And buenas noches amigo/amiga. Angelika USA?UTAH

You should look into Explorica Summer Academy. I went on their Spain program the summer before junior year. It was three weeks, about $4000 (The price has gone up a little since then due to weak dollar). It consisted of a week of traveling around the country, then two weeks in Marbella (Costa del Sol) going to school six hours a day for language immersion at Enforex school. On the weekend between the two weeks of school we went to Gibraltar and Morocco. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot at the school. It was small classes with native speaker teachers. There were about 25 kids on the trip with two really nice chaperones and a tour guide. We stayed at hotels that were quite nice. The $4000 included airfare, hotel, breakfast and dinner everyday, school, basically everything. I definitely suggest the program. They even have this thing called a tour diary that is online while you're gone. The chaperons uploads pictures and writes about what you did everyday and your parents can go online and check on you. I really liked that we got a lot of free time with this program. On days we had school, we met for breakfast and dinner and were responsible for getting to school on time. The rest of the day was ours. I went to the beach everyday. The chaperons were really nice. We had a midnight curfew, were they would check in on us in our rooms, but other than that we could be wherever we wanted all the time. http://www.explorica-study-abroad.com/

Most exchange organizations have summer programs. You can find a list of those certified to operate in the U.S. at www.csiet.org. You should also ask your counselor for a recommendation as a program is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, AFS, Aspect, Rotary and YFU are reliable everywhere. They are all homestay however. Dorm programs are usually at the university level. However, if you want to go THIS summer, you MUST HURRY! I'm pretty sure most applications are closing soon (if not already!). I've already picked my exchange student for the 2008-2009 school year! Good luck though!

What do you mean when you say you have a passport in Spain. Are you a Spanish citizen? US citizens do not need visa to travel to Spain. If you are going to school there you should check the website of the school you are interested in to see what is required of you to obtain a student visa. Here is the link to the schools admissions website that tell you what you need. http://www.lesroches.es/les_roches_marbella/en/en-en/index.cfm?page=/les_roches_marbella/home/admissions/visa-requirements-process When you apply for a loan from a REPUTABLE lender here in the US you will be required to give details as to the purpose of the loan.

For a student to finance his educational costs had never been as easier as it is now. Earlier on if you or your family could not support the educational costs then there was no hope of continuing studies. But now the student loans have changed the entire scenario. You will now do not have to worry but to make your mind to reach your goal. These loans will help you to get what you want in each and every step.If you want to adopt these loans for your higher studies than the amount required will be bigger. However, based on the type of the course the expenses vary and on this basis you can choose to pick either the secured or the unsecured loans. Keep your valuable asset as security and get the secured loans. Amount offered is higher in it. http://www.worldbestloans.com/ For the unsecured no collateral is required and the amount offered is small. So, it is essential to calculate the total requirement of finance for picking the right loan.Such loans will not let you spend extra money while you pursue the course. Right from the admission in college to habitation, buying study materials, foods, travel expenses, medical expenses and classroom projects are being financed by it. So, there is no scope for the student to think or to take tension about all those things.For repaying it too you will not have to bother much. As soon as the course gets completed you can start repaying the loan. If not that you can repay the loan after getting a job too. The rate of interest too is kept very small in it.

You can sometimes use some federal student loan money to study abroad. Look up your school here: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/FOTWWebApp/FSLooĆ¢€¦ If it's listed, they take federal money. I looked up your school and couldn't find it. Look into scholarships for study abroad (at the same time and take the scholarships first). You might be able to get private student loans. They are more expensive and you will likely need a cosigner. If your school is not accredited by the U.S. Dept. of Education, private loans are not usually available.
