They will need to apply for a visa to enter Spain and Turkey plus Malta. A student visa is not the same as a residence visa. He/She would have to apply at these Embassy in London for the visa to enter.

a visa is needed,here is a link with a web page go read how to: Spanish Consulate in London, United Kingdom Consulaate of Spain in London, United Kingdom 20 Draycott Place SW3 2RZ City: London Phone: +44-20-75898989 Fax: +44-20-75817888 Web Site: http://www.conspalon.org/ Email: conspalon@mail.mae.es Office Hours: Visas information line: (24 hours-calls cost: £1.00 per minute from BT lines) and a visa for Turkey,(not in the schengen zone)Malta is in the schengen zone.

To realize the travel plans two visa are required; one Schengen visa valid for Spain and Malta and a visa valid for Turkey. It is not that much dependent on how long she has stayed in the United Kingdom on her student visa but on how long her student visa will still be valid after return from her journey to the beforehand named countries to the United Kingdom. Spain will not accept a visa application if she does not have an authorized stay of at least six month in the United Kingdom after the Schengen visa has expired. Turkey will take a visa application if the authorized time of stay in the United Kingdom is less than 6 months; in this case however the decision about a visa is not made at the London Embassy which will take 3 days but will be referred to the relevant Turkish authorities for approval which generally takes minimum 6 to 8 weeks to finalize. A visa issued by Spain will also authorize to visit Malta and 23 other countries but not Turkey.

There are many programs, that range from just a few weeks in the summer, to an entire year abroad. Cost will vary as well, but it's usually not TOO expensive - especially when you consider all the life-changing experiences you'll have. Some programs even have scholarships or grants which can help reduce the costs further. Still, I would figure a month long program will cost you about $3000 - includes travel, hotel, fees, etc. Throw in another few hundred for spending money. Don't worry about the cost too much. The benefits from student travel are too great to ignore because of money. I'd start asking at your school about programs - ask your language teachers, or counselors. Most programs have an application process, so the earlier you find out about them, the better. When I was in high school, my teacher actually formed a partnership with a school over in Germany through a national program for German teachers. Each fall, a group of German students would come to the US and stay with students and their families, and then in the summer, a group of us would go to Germany. I went over for 3 weeks. For 2 weeks, I lived with a student my age, and went to school with him. For the 3rd week, we traveled to Berlin. We also took various day trips as well, so it wasn't school-every-day (after all, you can sit in classes all day back in the US...)

If you live in a town with a Rotary club i suggest you contact them as most Rotary clubs particpipate in the Rotary Exchange Program. This is a program that last for one full school year, you live with three different host families and depending on each club many will pay your full way! Good Luck
3 :
Check out the information at the sites below. I was a Rotary International exchange student over 20 years ago. The program is really outstanding; they take care of their students and don't rake them over the coals for cash. They're also quite selective, which leads to good representatives from each country being involved. Good luck!
4 :
If you want to be an exchange student next year is that you need to hurry! Many programs have already shut down applications for the next school year (although there may be more opportunities for second semester students). Your first step is to find a good program. Make sure it is CSIET listed (www.csiet.org). That means there is some government oversight and many high schools will not work with an organization not on that list. You should also check with your school counselor for programs he/she works with. A program is only as good as its local representatives. Generally, Aspect, AFS, Rotary and YFU are reputable everywhere with Rotary being the cheapest, but most competitive. There are three basic choices you can make. Summer, semester and year program. The summer programs tend to be more cultural than academic and you don't get near the language and culture immersion benefits from them as you do from the longer stays. Program costs will range from $5,000 to $10,000 depending upon the length of stay and the organization you choose (Rotary will be less). That fee will include air travel, insurance, support and orientations both at home and in your country, placement with a screened host family, school placement, and some smaller things (again, depending upon your organization). It does not include spending money which you will need for your personal use. WIth the low dollar, you can expect to spend $250-$350 per month. A typical high school exchange will place you with a host family who selects you from your application so it's very important to fill it out honestly. If you try to "remake" yourself, it gets your relationship with your family off to a very bad start. Hope this is helpful.

Should I study abroad in Spain for a college semester?
I'm a high school student who plans to take around 4-5 years of Spanish. I really want to study abroad in Spain. I'm planning to take lots of APs, so should I do it? And when? Should I give myself a little time to get settled into college before doing this, or take off first semester? And what would the cost be?

Should I kiss my hosts in cheek when I go to Spain?
Should I kiss my hosts in cheek when I go to Spain?
It sounds really funny, I know. Let me explain. I'm from Turkey and I'm going to be a guest of a family in Spain for a while, with a student exchange.In Turkey, when we meet with someone, we kiss them in cheek. Does it sound weird?Can they feel indisposed?Is there a tradition like that in the other countries?

yes this is normal in europe, you should kiss once on each cheek. Only in holland people kiss 3 times, one cheek, other cheek, first cheek. Everywhere else in central europe (including spain) its one cheek, other cheek, Finished. :-)
2 :
Yes it is a sign of respect and is very normal in European countries. As you are in the US we shake hands and if your in China/Japan you bow to show respect and greeting.
3 :
You have to , its a must trust me!! LOL... you kiss both cheeks OK??
4 :
You should take into consideration how they approach you in general. If they keep distant and silent, don't do it. But in Spain it is more likely that you will get a warm and friendly greeting with hugs and kisses from them. I don't think you need to worry about it, just be yourself.
5 :
Be sure to ask them which cheeks, before you do!
6 :
Yes, definitely. if not you will be considered unfriendly.

Which country would you recommend being a foreign exchange student in?
Which country would you recommend being a foreign exchange student in?
I am thinking about being a foreign exchange student in a couple of years and staying for a semester. I have narrowed it down to these: Thailand Spain Egypt If you were to choose which one you would go to, which one would it be and why? Also would you tell me which one would be your least favorite. Thank you!

No question I'd pick Spain. Thailand has had a lot of political unrest lately - riots and people have been hurt and killed. I'd avoid it until the future. Egypt? Rich history, lovely scenery, but it's not a developed country and the standards aren't the same as in the West. Also, culturally it's very different and it could be tricky at times if you're female because it's not a place with equal rights for women in the same way it is in the West. Spain is a Western country, developed, in Europe with rail and plane links to everywhere in Europe. It's relatively safe and clean and there is a lot to see. Also learning Spanish will be beneficial if you're American and you can do that in Spain.
