Im a mexican citizen- i don't know if that makes it a little more easier.lol
i also know that in order for me to live in spain i would need prove that i can support myself financially- however- i want to study over there and possibly get a job to pay bills and stuff.
any suggestions?Advice you can give a 20 year old female who wants to live in Spain?
Outside of the E.U I don't understand why you'd want to study here...
our government and the E.U subsidizes many courses
This is your first degree ? ';undergraduate';
=) It is what I will be doing next year
But the average person in Navarra will only pay 4.000鈧?a year for University
The 4.000鈧?of which will be borrowed interest free from the Regional Government (only if your household income is under 60.000鈧?
If it's not then you must ask the bank, or take it from the Government but pay interest - each region has their own polices for example in the Balear Islands many people go to Barcelona and from what I understand they get more money to afford the boat back home about 3 times a year.
- if you're not from an E.U Country it say's you could pay up to 11.990鈧?per year. which is a CrAzY amount... o.O - for University of Navarra (www.unav.es)
You can get a study visa, but I don't think it let's you work =/
I'm also not sure on the process from applying from abroad
Here if you go through you college, from you bac/High School diploma
then you must choose 5 Universities/Courses to formally apply
Then limit it to 3 (which you will choose in order of preference)
You'll get accepted into all 3 or none
Then you take an entrance exam for your choice.
If you don't get accepted into any then you must wait until the Spring Term
If you want to apply for 2010, then you MUST submit all your submissions etc. by April
Although we're told to do it by December, the sooner you do it the more places there are.
But as Dart said, maybe study in your own country, get all the government aid you can - The U.S seems big on scholarships... I'm not sure what extent we have this too =/
and then take an exchange.
The rules should be the same for any E.U Country - and for Spanish people studying inside the E.U you can claim the regional help from you Local Government still
- For example people from Navarra, Spain going to Pau, France. They would take Navarras' help or Pau's which ever is better.
-- p.d on UN's website they also say that you'll need 800鈧?a month (9.600鈧?year) before they will accept an non-E.U student to studyAdvice you can give a 20 year old female who wants to live in Spain?
The grass isn't always greener at the other side of the fence, so I would suggest that you did your research thoroughly before deciding on any move.
Any jobs that fit around your studies will more than likely be '; cash '; Jobs without any employee rights and not very well paid.

I did it...Well, for a year, in University. At age 20.
But if you are trying to move to set up a permanent home...not a good time. The economy TOTALLY sucks! Jobs, such as they are, go to Spaniards, first, EU citizens next, others, last.
Unless you have some sort of really special talent/skill professionally (not common in 20 year olds) you probably will have a difficult time getting a visa. I understand someone has to INVITE you to come work for them, in order to get the visa started, but I'm not entirely sure on that point...you want to check with the nearest Spanish Embassy or Consulate. They will give you the best information.
Student visas do not include legal work status.
Students in Spain (in fact, most of Europe) do not work while stuyding, as we do in the US.
If you are a Mexican citizen, one assumes you speak fluent Spanish? A good start.
If you were actually raised in the US speaking English, you'll have a hard time working altogether.
I don't know...as I understand it, your passport is equal to a US one, though...same Schengen restrictions. 30 days visa included...must apply for longer.
I say: good luck to you. No one knows better than I how great it can be to go do that...but you need to be realistic about the options.
Your best bet is to take the student route, and bring enough money to pay your bills with. Most exchange programs make sure you have enough to live on. Your pocket money is your own responsibility.
When I did it, some people did some private English lessons, but I understand that British is much more highly desired these days, and as I recall, we all wound up interviewing the same guy, who didn't really want English lessons at all. He gave EVERY woman on my program the willies.
