What you can settle without going to the consulate
- Lodge a Schengen or student visa at BLS Visa Service for Spain, which is where they are taken in, not the consulate.
- Track a passport or visa already applied for at sutramiteconsular.maec.es with the code on your receipt.
- Download the forms (EX-01, EX-15, form 030, 790) and fill them in before the appointment: they are not filled in at the counter.
Before you go, check the office page for opening hours and how to book: each consulate has its own way.
