You will typically need a Spain Schengen Visa from the UK if you:

• Are a non-EU/EEA citizen living in the UK.
• Hold a UK residence permit (BRP) and plan to visit Spain for tourism, business, or family purposes.
• Are a student, employee, or self-employed professional residing in the UK and planning a short-term visit.
• Intend to travel to multiple Schengen countries, including Spain (the main destination rules apply).

Appointment Provider and Available UK Locations

Spain visa applications in the UK are handled by BLS International, the official partner of the Spanish consulate. You must book your appointment on the BLS website and attend in person to give your fingerprints.

You can apply at these UK centres:

• London
• Manchester
• Edinburgh

Your centre usually depends on where you live, so check the BLS website before you book. Do not buy appointments from third parties, as BLS says this is fraud.

Fast Holidays can help you get your documents ready before your appointment.

How Long Can I Stay in Spain with a Schengen Visa?

You can stay in Spain for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The Spanish consulate decides the exact length of stay allowed in Spain and the wider Schengen area. If you receive a multiple-entry visa valid for more than 90 days, you must still follow the 90/180 rule when counting how long you can legally stay.
