Do Indians Need a Spain Visa Appointment?

Yes, Indian applicants are required to book a BLS Spain visa appointment to submit their applications at the BLS International Visa Application Centre (VAC). The Spain consulate collaborates with BLS International for processing visa submissions, requiring applicants to schedule an appointment after filling out the online visa application form on Spain’s official website.

What is the Purpose of a Spain Visa Appointment for Indians?

A BLS Spain visa appointment for Indians serves several key purposes in the visa application process:

Spain visa appointment allows applicants to submit their necessary documents for review. These documents typically include passport, photos, visa application form, travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, financial means, insurance, and any other supporting documents requested by the Spanish consulate or visa application centre.
During the Spain BLS appointment, biometric data (such as fingerprints and photographs) of the applicant are collected. This data is required for the Visa Information System (VIS), which is used by the Schengen States to store and manage the biometric data of visa applicants.
The appointment fees must be paid at the visa application centre either in cash or demand draft.

The process ensures that all the necessary checks are in place to grant a visa, helping to secure the borders and maintain the integrity of the visa system.
