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.

In case that your Vietnamese Passport does not provide the information on the “Place of Birth” of
the Passport holder, you should submit, in addition, the Birth Certificate that has been duly
legalized by the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of Vietnam (Consular legalization) or other valid Identity Document that bears such
information on the place of birth.
BLS offices in Hanoi and HCMC can RESTART RECEIVING new application with these
blue Passports, but must request to those applicants using blue Passports their
valid Vietnamese ID (including the place of birth) in order to prove the place of
birth needed for the visa application. This valid ID must be included in the
application file.
“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
Spain in Vietnam, and we will keep you duely informed of the evolution of this
matter.
For further information on this specific matter, please, contact directly the Embassy of
Spain in Vietnam at emb.hanoi.vis@maec.es“
