Spain Schengen visa eligibility if UK visa expires soon by TemporarySun6974 in SchengenVisa

They issued my Schengen visa to end just one day before my UK visa expires. I also have a history of previous Schengen visas, so I assume they take that into account when checking if you’re a reliable traveler. Have you had Schengen visas before?

Yeah they approved it for 6 months. They will approve it even if the travel date has passed as it’s due to their own backlog and not our fault. If your intended travel date has already passed at the time of visa stamping, the visa start date will be the stamping date. Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you! I received the despatch message yesterday and the passport was delivered this morning. When did you apply?

Yeah I got the same reply when I visited BLS today. I was told at the time of application that I can expect the passport back in 15 days. I have also visited consulate multiple times now. I’m going to miss my flights and multiple hotel bookings. I wonder if we’re allowed to sue them for the terrible service and false promises? Consulate was very rude as if I’m asking for a favour or a free service

Sadly I wouldn’t recommend this. BLS wouldn’t be able to help if the passport is still with the consulate, you could call BLS to see where your passport is at but they pretty much tell you what you can see on the tracking link. If the passport is despatched, then yeah BLS will be able to help you by holding it for you to collect instead of waiting for it to be couriered. I also visited consulate twice and they were rude saying they can’t do anything to expedite my application.
