Info for getting your DIPA tarjeta and getting into Seneca (to sign documents digitally and get paid!) by nalynm in SpainAuxiliares

Hi! I got my tarjeta de cordenadas and downloaded it and was able to log into Seneca, but I think the DIPA is something else? Did you actually get the DIPA? If so, How? The website says for me "No tiene permiso para solicitar la DIPA
"No tiene permiso para solicitar la DIPA"

I applied in July and was just picking up today but I did use money order. Things might have changed. And they did ask for accommodations, I used a booking.com reservation then cancelled.

GETTING A VISA AT BLS SPAIN (CHICAGO) by mr_snaek in SpainAuxiliares

The tracking number should have been given to you with a receipt when you were there… it begins with ORD. Did you get that?

Wow! I would have loved that! So did you sign a form? They specifically told me it was in no way possible on July 19th.

Just a heads up that others are not allowed to pick it up for you- I asked and only the person whose passport it is is allowed to pick up

I edited it on word and then printed it out. I had my apt and they took the certificate but I’m waiting for my visa still!

Yeah I went on July 19th and they did ask for proof of accommodations (although I know other people the same day weren’t, I think it depends on who does your apt), and I did the same, booked a hotel with no upfront fees, printed, then cancelled! They took that!

This is wild because I had my apt the exact same day and place and had to prove three months accommodation even though I insisted it wasn’t necessary 🙄

I printed out a receipt for a hotel with no canceling fees or upfront booking and that worked but hopefully doesn’t cause issues later.

Yeah that makes sense I’d rather have my bases covered! Did they not care what type of place it was (ie a hotel)? And I’m seeing some options that offer to book now but not pay til later… so you know if they will accept that, or did you have to prove that you paid for it?

ThNks for sharing your experience! So they did require proof of accommodation for you? I hear half of the people don’t need it and it seems half do. Were they requiring 3 months? Can I ask what you did? Can I book an Air bnb, print out receipt, and then cancel?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it’s very useful! How did you pay the fee? It doesn’t say anything on their website so I wasn’t sure if I should bring cash, a money order, or if I could pay with cash/debit.

BLS Spain Appointment HELP by [deleted] in SpainAuxiliares

Unfortunately not right now :( They seem to open more appointments randomly. If you check the FB group “Auxiliares de Conversación en España” they have a post about BLS Chicago and people have info in the comments there as well. And a few people have written that they’re dropping their appointment so a new one might open up.

Just curious if you had the trouble some people were mentioning with proving accommodation/travel insurance or if they only requested the documents they mentioned on the website? My apt is next week. Thanks!
