If you were legally residing in a country that applies the Schengen Agreement, then you would not need a visa. The UK is outside the Schengen area, so you DO need a visa. You can verify this here: http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Consulados/Londres/en/MenuPpal/Servicios%20Consulares/Informacion%20sobre%20visados/Paginas/visas_emblondon.aspx#sec1 - see the link to attachment I

You mean, you are applying NOW for a visa for a month and a half away? I think you might run into a time issue! Go to the nearest Spanish consulate or Embassy to where you are. Or call.
2 :
The tourist visa application for citizens of Cambodia takes at least two weeks. You may only apply for a visa if you are resident in the United Kingdom and your residence permit is stamped in your passport. The following documents need to be presented at the date of appointment. • passport valid for three months beyond the proposed stay with one full blank page to affix the visa • completed and signed visa application form. • one passport size (35x45mm) colour photograph. • proof of UK Residency / Immigration Status. • recent letter from the school or University on headed paper confirming attendance (a letter of enrollment is not acceptable). • last 3 months Bank Statements showing the applicant’s home address • proof of sufficient funds [at least €62.40 per day of stay] • Overseas Medical Insurance Policy with repatriation clause which must be valid for all Schengen countries and cover at least €30,000 • flight tickets reservation or booking. • hotel bookings for tourists or a letter of invitation from the host issued by the Police in Spain for visiting family or friends. http://www.maec.es/subwebs/Consulados/Londres/en/MenuPpal/Servicios/Visados/Paginas/conditionsapplication_services.aspx ..

What is a cheap student exchange program during the summer?


What is a cheap student exchange program during the summer?
I am teenager looking into going to Spain during the summer and most of the programs I looked at were very expensive like AFS and YFU. I really do not want to spend that much money. Also, I would like to stay in a homestay. Do you know if the program ASSE is a good program? Is it safe to be in a homestay? If you have any stories of a student exchange program you've been on I would love to hear it. Thanks!

I went on student exchange, but not to Europe. I went to Japan. However, all I can say is that you should look into either activities from your own school (ask the administration if they know anything), or with your local government. A lot of government agencies help young students do traveling and homestay exchanges. I recommend looking into "traveling scholarships" on Google and see what they can provide.

Hi!, I am Spanish, I was born in Canary Islands, and next year I am going to Madrid university. There are both public and private universities in Spain, public universities are quite cheap, they cost 1000-2000 Euros per year plus living costs. You can live in a University residence (that´s what I´m gonna do) or you can rent a house. It´s possible that you can apply to some scolarship though. Private universities are also good, but they are much more expensive, around 6000-9000 Euros per year. You will only be required to have completed Pre-universitary education, like everywhere. You don´t need all As in the school. However, depending on the university, you might need a mark. As you are not here yet, there is no problem, because if you couldn´t study in a university due to the mark you can always choose another one. Check the government site for student Visa ingo. Here you got info about the mark you need for every degree in every university. (It´s a 0 to 14 scale, but as you are an international student I don´t really know what you´ll need) http://www.notasdecorte.info/ And here you´ve got all the degrees. http://www.gradomania.com/ I hope I´ve helped you. Good luck!
