If you read my earlier posts, you’ll know that I’m going back to Spain in a few months. I love Spain, but man, the visa process can be very stressful. It can take months to compile all the documents, and a lot of money, especially if you want to get the documents faster, like me.
Applying for a visa can be a stressful task and there is little help out there for you. So many websites claim you’ll need different things, leaving you confused. That led me to directly call the Spanish Consulate in Washington, D.C., to which the person who answered my call to tell me “you only need what it says on the website” (multiple times …). Make sure to check with your local consulate to find out the exact details for what your consulate wants. This was my experience with the Spanish Consulate in Washington, D.C.
