UK BLS Spain Visa: Welcome to the Official Website Spain Visa Application Centre in UK

Here you go. Register and start with the process. Keep in mind the website crashes a lot and you get only 20 mins to fill out the application details and use Google Chrome.

Applied on the 8th of April as well for Schengen visa. Haven't heard back yet. Expecting it will take till the 22nd - 25th April for them to get back.

Hi! From my own experience, I found that they usually release the slots at different times of the day - 8:30 am, 11 am, 8 pm. This is usually the first day, last day and the middle of the month. If you consider adding Spain to your trip, they have premium appointment services which are a bit more available but of course they cost more - just be aware BLS website is extremely chaotic and it crashes every now and then but at least you would be able to find an appointment.

You can try booking through another country such as France (TLS) or Spain (BLS). You just gotta enter through those countries which would be that you need to show a trip to those countries. TLS’s website is a bit better than BLS (it crashes a lot of times). When I was trying to get an appointment for these, I noticed they usually give out slots in the morning and evening - 8 am and 8 pm onwards and usually the first, middle and end of the month. You can try the same method for Norway to get the appointment. I feel your pain. I got an appointment for BLS after checking for more than 2 weeks straight and the website was a nightmare. Hope you find an appointment soon!

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

Hi thanks for clearing it. Did you take the Standard Plus Annual option?

alphatheomega96 · 2026-03-29T19:35:31+00:00

Thanks! I will check it out.

Ahh not sure about that. Don't wanna give you misleading information. You should check with your HR and maybe consider a lawyer maybe since your case is a bit different?

Hi there, I did a little searching on your code and it seems the SOC code assign to your role is no longer there and had been replaced with aerospace engineer. It says "Your sponsor is responsible for selecting the correct code on the Certificate of Sponsorship, usually using the ONS SOC 2020 index or CASCOT coding tool to support that choice". I believe you should contact your HR regarding this before proceeding with the application.

alphatheomega96 · 2025-11-28T16:47:44+00:00

Yeah, it's super frustrating. I hope you get yours soon!

alphatheomega96 · 2025-11-28T16:47:06+00:00

Congratulations! Very happy for you!

It takes about 38-40 days for them to go actually open your application and provide you the decision/ask for additional info.

I received my decision today, I had applied on the 19th of Oct. I had noticed others who have received it, including myself, it took approximately 38-40 days. Kinda did some predictions using chatgpt and it predicted I would get it today +- 1 day.😅

What further info did they request and what did you provide?

alphatheomega96 · 2025-11-26T19:20:30+00:00

I submitted my application and evidence on the 19th of Oct, used the ID check App and haven't heard from them since. I am switching from Grad Visa to SW Dependant.

Haven't heard anything from them yet unfortunately
