                    BLS International advises visa applicants to exercise caution and vigilance regarding the
                        following points:Our staff never ask visa applicants to make cash payments or any other
                        form of payment to obtain an appointment, expedite the visa application process, secure an
                        earlier appointment, or influence decision-making.We do not recommend any direct payments into
                        personal bank accounts.
                        Appointments must be booked exclusively through the BLS website. Please refer to the website for
                        authorized service fees payable to BLS International.
                        Always request a receipt for optional value-added services available at our center.
                        The decision regarding visa applications is made solely by the competent authorities, and BLS
                        International has no role or influence in this process. If you receive such a request (in
                        writing or verbally), please report it immediately by completing the complaint form or by
                        sending an email to antifraud@blsinternational.com.
                        Be cautious of intermediaries selling visa appointments under the name of BLS International or
                        individually outside our center. All appointments must be booked through the BLS International
                        website. Please refrain from purchasing appointments through a third party: this is a fraudulent
                        practice that BLS International strongly condemns. As a responsible service provider, we make
                        every effort to inform applicants to be wary of fraudulent intermediaries charging fees to
                        clients for appointment bookings.

                            “IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE EMBASSY OF SPAIN IN HANOI: Vietnamese
                                authorities started gradually issuing new passports (blue passports) on 01.07.22. They
                                do not include the field “place of birth”. This field is essential for the due
                                identification of the applicant and must be included in the Schengen visa applications.
                                Currently, in coordination with other Member States of the Schengen space, competent
                                Spanish authorities are analysing the mattter at a technical leval. Current regulations
                                do not allow the issuane of Schengen visas of Passport holders whose identity is not
                                duely accredited in their passports.
                            
                                Given this new situation, applicants of Schengen visas should bear in mind that,
                                - Until a decision is taken by competent central authorities of the Schengen space
                                    regarding the admission or not of these new blue Vietnamese Passports, the Embassy
                                    of Spain in Hanoi will not be able to admit Schengen visa applications using this
                                    blue Passport.
- Schengen visa applications using the green traditional passports (which do include
                                    the field of place of birth), as long as they are still valid, will be able to be
                                    admitted and processed normally. 
If you had forseen travelling to several countries within the Schengen space, we
                                recommend you contact the respective Embassies of these countries in order to confirm
                                your case specifically with them, as you may encounter problems when traying to move
                                within the Schengen space.
                            We regret any inconveniences caused by this situation, not originating in the Embassy of
