Spanish Schengen visas

​Spain's global Schengen visa management system has been malfunctioning since 19 June. This situation is affecting the ability of BLS, Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs' global outsourcing visa partner, to process visa applications and, for that matter, that of this Embassy in Dublin to issue visas in the standard 15-day period. Please bear this in mind before planning your next trip to Spain. We apologise for any inconvenience.​
