Going beyond your visa...?

I talked to my program, and they've said that people have done this in the past and that it hasn't been a problem.

One has to wonder what kind of idiot program would advise people that it's ok to break immigration laws in other countries.

Indeed. That seems idiotic. However, I did read a bunch of posts in Spanish expat forums that claimed Spanish visa laws are incredibly lax, but do you seriously want to mess with things?

Ask the consulate for a rush visa, or ask them if you can get an extension once in the country.

According to their laws, you cannot get an extension while in Spain.

As WhoIAm said, Thailand charges every day you are over, but you can also purchase a 30 day extension which saved my ass a few times. Maybe Spain has something similar.

Also, in case you didn't already know, Spain is part of the Schengen agreement, which means you can't just leave Spain and reenter, expecting every country to be an escape route. The UK would be an exception to this, I think, and might make a good cheap escape route.

According to Spanish immigration law, you must return to your home country to renew any visas. Furthermore, you cannot stay in Spain longer than 90 days during any 6 month period. In other words, you can't go out and return again right away for another 90 days.

OP, if you break Spanish immigration law, you may also be [censored] yourself if you ever want to go to any of the other countries in the Schengen agreement.
