BLS InternationalReviews of blsspainvisa.com

These guys are unbelievably useless, don't know why indian government uses their services. Faced too many issues to list out here. They are so incompetent that if they compete with most incompetent companies in the world, they'll still come in last. The customer representatives are clueless unqualified people even their supervisors are terrible. I guess they appoint supervisors based on the degree of worthlessness. The more worthless you are the more chance to move up the ladder. If you call the number listed for BLS for specific city, it still goes to the global center and they have no idea what is going on in that specific center where you supposedly called. I really hope the indian government get rid of this joke of a company and use services of VFS or some other provider.

I think there is already atleast one review regarding passport size photo taken at centre, ignoring what customer has already brought with them based on the info on the BLS website. I also literally spent approx 35 pounds at Max Spielmann to get photos for myself and my wife to meet the standard requirements and avoid any photo size related issues at the time of appointment. Still, they didn't even ask for those photos and clicked our photos at the centre as per their 'standard process'. Why this can't be mentioned on the website (along with so many info updates that the website needs)? On the top of that, they don't even tell you the cost of clicking the photo beforehand, along with break up of any other cost. You only get to know this once you pay, which automatically also adds the Courier (Next day) fee of 29.99 as well. Now as a customer, I don't even know if a cheaper option is available as I didn't have time issues. PS: This is my own experience. I know I will get a standard generic response of 'our review matters and stuff'. But trust me, this is a matter of time before someone highlights this lack of transparency to the relevant regulatory body. They also need to sort out the 'invalid application' status on their website which randomly occurs after you have submitted the application. It automatically went to 'processing at mission' few days later. There are similar cases from LAST YEAR mentioned online and hence, I know it's not only me who have faced this issue. The fact that it is still happening now shows that customer experience doesn't matter.

Very disappointed with the visa processing experience. I submitted my Schengen visa application for Spain on 3rd June, and despite the standard 15-day processing timeframe, there has been no update for over three weeks. The status still shows “Processing at Mission” with no communication or transparency from the authorities. This delay is affecting my travel plans, and it’s extremely stressful not knowing when or if I’ll receive my visa. The process lacks clarity, and there seems to be no urgency or accountability. Applicants deserve better communication and respect for timelines, especially when travel bookings and commitments are involved.

I just spoke today with one of your helpline employees difficult to understand his Indian accent, also very very rude with me I just wanted to double check if my appointment was confirmed and he couldn’t provide me with any assistance at all… very disappointed I called at 12:15 today 25-06-25, was an Indian male difficult to understand his English accent

worst design of all time

absolute horrible what the point of live verification if you can't make it properly don't make it at all

I have missed my first flight to Spain and till now my visa is not out and I have a connecting flight on Saturday from Spain to Italy for a conference. I have applied over 4 weeks now. A friend that applied to another Schengen country 2 weeks after me has gotten her Schengen visa and I am still waiting. I have till Friday to catch my Saturday flight from Spain to Italy. This is really sad, unfair and terrible.

very bad Service all the documents was ready and after pre appointment waiting time more than two hours after that form already filled up but staff said this will not work you need to pay 30 Dhs, I asked why he said fill take again appointment & come after few days, however i have paid 30 Dhs because i don't want to arguments since there was no any change in fill up form but they want money only, staff was very rood with applicants.
