The legal period for reaching a decision is of 10 days as of the day after the application submission date, not counting the time that elapses between the sending of visa applications from the BLS office to the Spanish Embassy and vice versa. The Embassy of Spain only accepts the pre-applications received by BLS when it has physically received the applications and the visa fee has effectively entered the Embassy's bank account. The processing period begins to count from the date of admission in the visa computer system of the Embassy of Spain.

Please note that all applications are processed individually. The Visa Officer may invite you for an interview or request further documentation or information. This may extend the processing time.
