hi all, got my passport back today (20/08/2026) and i applied on the 27/07/2026, premium appointment, consulate received my passport on 28/07/206. i emailed them on the 12/08/2026 as i had an appointment on the 19/08 which i needed my passport for but ultimately ended up missing.

this is my 3rd schengen visa in 2 years, my first one was single entry 16 days to italy, second was multi entry 3 months from spain and third is 15 days single entry spain.

i explicitly asked for longer, multi entry visa and i know it’s not a guarantee or a right but i was hoping for it because it would have been my third visa so i’ve been bummed out about it. what sucks tho is that they didn’t even get any leniency left or right for an extra day or two whereas italy i applied for 14 days and they gave me 16.

thanks for listening to my rant and i hope this helps out anyone. you can email consulate to check on ur status but please don’t spam them or they won’t respond and might take even longer. just a short email explaining ur flight is a week away and ur just checking in regarding ur visa, put ur full name and when ur suppose to fly and ur passport number so its easier for them to find ur application.

the email is cog.londres@maec.es

Hi guys, I just booked my appointment for BLS Spain London and I was charged the £15 but didn’t get an email confirmation and nothing is appearing on my account. I don’t know if it’s because it’s a Saturday or what, would love to hear anyone experience and if this has happened before?

Hi, my student visa is attached to my first passport and I became a dual citizen recently. Can I travel on my first passport while my second passport (which isn’t biometric) at the UKVI to be registered?

If anyone knows anything would be great!

Thank you so much.

Hi all, I applied for a tourist visa premium appointment on the 22nd of April, got processing at mission notification on the 27th April and no update since and I’m suppose to fly on the 14th of May. Has anyone heard back from those dates or close by? Not sure if I should reach out to BLS or the Consulate. Any help would be great!
