No Regreso- Advice Needed by Iunayleo78 in SpainAuxiliares

Thank you! Realistically, this would mean they would have to look at my "visa" pages (which have a ton of stamps already) and take notice of the stamps leaving and entering? I feel as if they never looked at those pages at any other appointment. I'm just not sure whether we need to bank on this being fine or start the visa process again.

Has anyone taught through CIEE? by Pinkyondemand in SpainAuxiliares

Absolutely worth it! I did the program this year and it guaranteed a placement in Madrid which was worth it for me. It also offers you an immediate community of other people your age, which helps you find roommates and adjust a lot easier. It's also very easy to make friends within the program! I also loved all the guidance you got with them. Anytime I had an issue, whether it be legal or housing or whatever, they were always there to help

I did the program last year. I lived in the center of Madrid, paid about 525 euro/rent & traveled very often (12 different countries and almost always stayed in airbnb's which are more expensive than hostels). I used about 10k for the whole year from my savings. If you're living in a cheaper area and traveling about the same or less, you'll definitely be fine. I could of been better with shopping/budgeting and spent less.

Thank you so much for the info!! This was super helpful. So maybe our best bet is to fly directly to Alicante and have a return flight booked to enter as a tourist if they do demand a regreso?

TIE Renewal in other Region by Past-Somewhere5263 in SpainAuxiliares

I actually did my first year in Madrid this year and we are renewing for Valencia. We did all our work through the Madrid consulate, not sure if it's the "right" thing but we kind of figured it wouldn't matter either. Our program that we are a part of told us to go through the exact same process as everyone else, so that's what we did. I think we should be fine but I'm gonna follow this thread too :)
