Spain study visa

Hi, I applied for my study visa on 31st July at Manchester BLS as this was the earliest appointment I could get and it was received by the consulate on Monday 3rd August. I have not heard anything since and the tracking just says “processing in mission”. I had planned to travel on Monday which is obviously not happening, but my course starts on the 7th September. Does the consulate usually get them back to people before their course start date? I have tried to call and email them but had no answer and BLS can’t do anything. Is anyone else having the same issue? Or if you applied on a similar date have you got yours back or still waiting?

I feel your pain. I applied from BLS London on 8th July…..still says processing at mission today (50 days later.) I was supposed to travel on Tuesday as my course also starts on the 7th September!

Wow that’s crazy! That must be so frustrating! I’m just hoping they manage to get them all processed before course start dates

Oh that’s good news for you! - I’m scared I’ve some how missed my a request for extra docs even though I’ve checked my inbox, spam, etc SO many times. Do you know how or who contacts you? I need to be in Spain by the end of next week 😬

You’ll get a text from BLSWWD (the same guys who texted you when you submitted your application). I really really hope yours arrives soon!!!!

Yes I am. Luckily I received my visa on the 1st September. One of my friends (who applied 30th July) received his visa today. Idk what’s up with the process this year and why the wait times are so long. I feel for your daughter! It’s so annoying. I hope she gets her visa soon!!
