I am beyond frustrated with this organization. My boyfriend is moving to Spain to teach at a school for a year and needed to obtain a visa. He submitted all the required documentation in July. I obviously want to move him in and help him get settled so we booked flights for the end of September thinking 2+ months should be MORE than enough time. Our flight is less than a week away and he still hasn't received his visa. We've called and emailed multiple times and received no help. Now he may have to cancel his flight and I'll have to go alone because our accommodations are non-refundable. Absolutely ridiculous.

So vaccination or Certificate of Recovery is mandatory to enter Spain? Not just a negative test?

This is the last place they would read. If you fail to contact them, try to come in person between Tue and Thu in the morning (visa days) - it may work.

I've tried their online portal to make an appointment and emailed them four times in the past month to try to figure things out. Do you think I can go in in person and try to make an appointment there or will I be rejected? I'm so worried.

They only let you make an appointment through the portal. They open up new appointments every 2 weeks on Friday. One thing you can try if you need the appointment before new ones open up that ended up working for me is going into the office and sitting there in case there is a last minute cancelation or a no show. I had to sit from the time they opened at 9 until 12:45 but it worked. Also make sure you have EVERYTHING you need ready and organized because they will probably turn you away if you don't. Also be prepared for the possibility that they cannot help you the first time you try that.

We will be three months in Boston, I would like to know how to vote in the possible elections.

Where or when can I get a work visa?

For that you must go to the consulate with the papers and documents that guarantee that you have a work contract in Spain

I am confused about where to to obtain a student visa for my son who will be studying in Spain through his college, which is located in Maine. My son is a permanent resident of New Jersey. Does he go to NYC or to Boston for there student visa?

Emily Eldridge | Sep 16, 2019
Jim Owens | Sep 16, 2019

The answer likely depends on whether he will be applying for a visa through his college or study abroad program, or as an individual. The appointment sites for both consulates describe who's eligible to make an appointment like so: "Only apply at this Consulate if your permanent address is or you study in: " For Boston, the states listed are ME, NH, MA VT and RI. For NYC it's NY, NJ, CT, PA and DE. As Sara advised, a close review of the visa pages at the respective consulate sites will provide more information, including a link to the site where you can make an appointment. Just search for Spanish Consulate Boston or NYC. By the way, appointments are not easy to come by. In Boston, appointments are typically posted twice a month, two weeks at a time. Available appointments for the first two weeks of the month usually appear during the last week of the previous month, and during the second week of the month for the last two weeks of the month. And they go very quickly.

I have a daughter attending college in Spain. My health insurance only covers emergencies when outside the US. What options are available to her to be covered in Spain for non-emergencies?

Bill Neville | Sep 16, 2019
Raquel Sanchez | Sep 16, 2019

There are really affordable monthly payments for private health insurance. Asisa or Adeslas are some of these insurances I've used before and I recommend personally.

Are there available appointments on there site now for tourist visas? Also can I apply for a Schengen visa at a different consulates office?

Abigail Gilmore | Sep 16, 2019
Meredith Glazer | Sep 16, 2019

You have to apply for a visa in the state in which you have a state ID or lisence in, or for your district. The district for this office includes: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island, and possibly Connecticut. There are appointments there now. My suggestion would be to go on the website and schedule an appointment and see what appointments are available. These questions can be answered by simply looking at the website.

When will they post more tourist visa appointments?

How long does it take to get an appointment to get a visa. I have been trying for a week already

Janine Sitko | Sep 16, 2019
Zhang Zhang | Sep 16, 2019

You need to keep checking the website each morning. They release new blocks of open slots somewhat randomly, every 1 to 3 weeks. Sometimes a single booked slot will open up from a cancelation.

You need one for each visit if you arrive at the home of family or friends. If not, the hotel reservation is worth it

I am an American who want to go to Spain to start a business there. What is the procedure for that?

Abdel Abdul | Sep 16, 2018
Meredith Glazer | Sep 16, 2018

Go to their website. There you will find a whole list of visa types. Yours would probably fall under a business visa. The website will tell you everything you need to submit to the consilate & how far in advance you should book your appointment. Once you know the visa type and requirements (& how long it'll take you to obtain the required documents), then book an appointment time accordingly. This can only be done online. They will send an email to confirm your appointment.
