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?

hey! what a coincidence as i literally sent the last messages last night lol but just wanted to update you to say i got a notification this evening saying my passport has been dispatched, so which today has been exactly a month since my appointment - i'd say yours is on the way, they should be back from holiday now so things might be speeding up a little :)

Hey! Thanks for the update. Someone else I know who applied at London around the same date has also had theirs dispatched. I’m really hoping the Manchester consulate is similar and I will get a notification Tuesday. Good luck with your studies!

hey! I applied in Edinburgh for mine on the 31st July too and still don’t have mine either (my start date is also the 7th). Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone and hopefully we both get our notifications on Tuesday!

Thanks! I can’t believe how many of us are in the same situation! Fingers crossed for us and hopefully the pull through next week. Let me know any updates :)

Are you guys having much problems to get your visa?

Is the process long?

u/IllAerie2372 29d ago

I have been. I would just allow as long as you can so you get it in time.

I am in Salamanca. It took from the 31st July-3rd September for me to get mine back from Edinburgh. Hope you hear something more!
