0 - Star Review – BLS Global Spain Visa Centre in Dublin BLS Global is not a visa service provider — it is a money-extraction scheme. There are never any standard appointments available. Ever. The system is permanently “fully booked,” conveniently forcing applicants into so-called “premium” appointments. This is not optional — it’s a forced upsell designed to squeeze more money out of people who have no alternative. I was charged €213 in unexplained, poorly itemised fees, justified under the meaningless label of “premium service.” No transparency. No breakdown. Just pay, or your application doesn’t move. This is borderline extortion masquerading as customer service. Despite submitting a strong, well-documented application — including: • Previous multiple-entry Schengen visas • A solid travel history • A detailed cover letter • Clear proof of compliance with Schengen rules • Evidence of multiple future trips …the outcome was a single-entry visa valid for a pathetic 20 days. Not 90 days. Not multiple entry. 20 days. For a compliant, experienced traveller, this decision is illogical, disproportionate, and frankly humiliating. What exactly was the point of the inflated fees, the forced premium appointment, and the mountains of paperwork? Because it certainly wasn’t to assess the application fairly. The entire process feels deliberately opaque and exploitative. Applicants are financially cornered, overcharged, and then handed arbitrary outcomes with zero explanation or accountability. This company has turned a consular process into a profit-driven obstacle course, and the lack of oversight is alarming. If this is the standard being tolerated, then applicants are being openly taken advantage of. Avoid if you can. And if you can’t, be prepared to pay heavily and receive absolutely nothing in return.

Basically when developers and designers who created this website will be replaced by AI, no one would be sad for them, cause AI would do a better job. This site is ridiculous. Spent 2 hours trying to even get to the page with appointments. No luck

BLS Scam Methods My family and I are attempting to book a Schengen visa appointment through the BLS online system for three family members. Despite repeated attempts over multiple days, it has proven practically impossible to complete a booking using the standard (non‑premium) process. Description of the Issue The core problem lies in the extremely limited and unstable time window provided by the BLS appointment system to complete the booking process: Once an appointment slot is selected, the system allows only a very short active session before timing out and forcibly cancelling the process. BLS representatives on their hotline admitted that this window is limited, initially claiming it to be 10–15 minutes, however this statement does not reflect reality. Even when completing the full process within 6–7 minutes, the system: Automatically logs the user out, or Displays technical or session errors, or Forces the applicant to restart from the beginning. When applying for a family of three, this is functionally impossible. The system requires repetitive entry of personal details, document information, and confirmations within an unrealistically short timeframe. As a result, applicants are forced to spend hours repeatedly restarting the same failed process, with no guarantee of success. Coercive Promotion of Premium Services What is most concerning is that, when contacting BLS customer support to report this issue: BLS staff acknowledged they are aware of the problem. Instead of offering a technical resolution or an extension of the booking session, applicants are encouraged to purchase a “Premium” service, costing approximately £180. This premium package conveniently avoids the very technical limitations imposed on the standard booking process. This creates the clear impression that: The standard appointment system is intentionally constrained, and Applicants are effectively forced to purchase premium services in order to access a basic public service. Why This Is Unacceptable These practices raise serious concerns about: Fair access to visa services Transparency of the outsourced appointment system Potential conflict of interest, where technical barriers appear to drive paid upgrades Applicants wishing to visit Spain do so with the intention of: Tourism Family visits Business activities In doing so, they contribute directly to Spain’s economy and international goodwill. Obstructive and commercially coercive processes discourage legitimate visitors and undermine trust in the visa system. Request for Consular Intervention I respectfully request that the Consulate: Investigate the appointment booking practices of BLS International in Edinburgh Require transparency around: Session time limits System error handling Differences between standard and premium access Ensure that fair and functional access to visa appointments is possible without coercion into paid services This complaint is submitted in good faith and with respect for the Consulate’s authority. I trust that the Consulate will review this matter seriously, as it affects a significant number of genuine applicants.

Is there any -1000 star for the website??? I spent almost 30 minutes filling in all the information, and then I had to reload, as it was not responsive!!! Are you serious that you are providing this to the public ?? It is a total joke!!!!

This must be the most shameful visa experience mentionable. Website is embarrassingly low cost. Impossible to make a booking. I am changing my holiday plans to go to another country.

This has to be the worst website created. When you register you have to enter date of birth, but you cannot type it in, you have to use a little calendar to choose the date. But you have to go month by month. I was born in 1968 so I had to click the mouse around 650 times to get back to the 1968 page. Absolutely crazy lack of interest in customer experience.

Lo siento muchisimo por la pobre alma que vaya a intentar obtener una cita para obtener un visado Schengen. 4 meses lo estuve intentando para mi pareja, y JAMAS pudimos conseguirlo. A veces cuando te cogian la llamada te decian cuando iban a estar disponibles las citas previas y por mucho que me metiese ese dia que me decian, nunca las vi. Con perdon por la palabra pero una BASURA de sitio.

One of the worst websites for booking visa appointment. Took me almost a whole day to just book an appointment which was 15 minutes job if website responds quickly.
