BLS InternationalReviews of blsspainvisa.com

A thieving company with Indian owners who falsely charge additional fees for services that are not provided and are not necessary.

Do not under any circumstance use this company - they are completely incompetent. They use Ai responses to any queries. We wer charged £1500 to process two family member visas which had already been approved by the consulate… when our application got to the consulate we were advised we were missing a document which we were unable to get until we returned to Spain- we were unable to do this as bis had taken our passports …. We had to go to the consulate ourselves to retrieve these- thank fully we did this as a month on after requesting a cancellation of our application we have still not received back our other documents and are unable to continue with another application in Spain ( which costs about £200 ) Absolutely useless Apply yourself and save your money. There’s better info online that’s you get from bls

I have done plenty visa applications for myself, I have been to 20 countries cause I love traveling no one has ever stressed me the way BLS Manchester did, apparently in the uk banks issues bank statements every once in a month, my bank issues every 24th of each month, I got an appointment at BLS Manchester for August 20th and brought my previous statement for July 24th and I was told it will not be accepted, I explained that my bank gives out statements every 24th of each month and I have even tried requesting my statement from a branch close to me but I was told it will take 10 working days to get to me but still yet my application didn’t process. BLS you people can do better, it was a painful experience, money, time and all wasted

Absolutely frustrating and depressing experience! Me and my boyfriend lost a lot of money and peace of mind during the time we were waiting for a response. sleeping disturbances and disappointment. my boyfriend is British so the visa was for me as i hold a UK travel document. We payed for a doorstep service which was +400£ he came the next day so i was really optimistic because i like everyone else reed the reviews of people dealing with BLS so i thought maybe they are not that bad. so he came took my picture and fingerprints and told me that i am missing a document and i sent it the next day and he never told me that anything else is missing. i booked a doorstep service because my trip was after three weeks and i couldn't find any appointments online they started processing my visa application on the 26 of July and i never got any updates until i sent an email on the 12th of August asking for updates and all of a sudden they sent me an email saying that there are documents missing and i need to go and hand them in person! my flight was on the 15th of August. and i received a post the next day saying that i needed to provide those documents and the date of the post was 7-8-2024 and i never got anything or any update from them until i sent the email the 12th of August . We went there and gave them the documents in BLS and tried to tell them what happened with us and everything. till the 15th of August we lost our hope and we payed money to change all of our bookings to the 30th of August and we were sure that by then it will be here. (my visa) and my passport was here the 16th of August with a refusal notice that had the date 7-8-2024 so if you already refused it why sending the post? i cant believe how inconsiderate these people are I think its a management issue from the BLS side/staff but I'm appealing anyway. Don't do doorstep service don't expect the whole thing to be smooth sailing process if you are thinking about going to spain i would advice to begin the visa process a year before ur trip to spain and expect the most frustrating outcome

The baddest experience I've had with getting a visa. Make sure you have alot of time to apply because their system takes forever if you make or don't have the right details for amended application...

website is entirely broken. Unable to apply for visa because literally impossible to upload photographs.

Myself and wife applied for Spain visa through BLS International Kochi . I reached there on time and summitted documents .Seal on bank statement was missing .I begged them to accept the application and agreed to come back with the sealed document once bank opens ie 10 AM . They just denied this and asked us to pay and book for another appointment . I managed to get  the documents the same day and begged again in vain .They did not allowed to enter the office. I paid and booked another appointment .There was a correction in the data I entered in their system They asked me to pay Rs 1500 to make this correction .After some argument they agreed to do it free but charged RS 400  for SMS services we never opted for . THIS IS JUST EXTORTION NOTHING ELSE .PLEASE DONT USE THIS SERVICE IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER OPTION .

They required a bank statement, acquired 7 days before my appointment date eventhough it didn’t say that on the requirements checklist attached to the appointment email they sent you. They were ready for this argument because once I asked why it wasnt mentioned on the checklist they sent me. It mentioned everything else. They said it was on their website and showed me a printed copy where it said in their website. I had the latest bank statement with me and I wont get a new one in 2 weeks time. They wont allow you to go back later (before 5pm) to give them a mini statement I could get from the bank, even though it wont take a minute to do that. The only way you could to that was to pay premium (£90) They charged me photo and sms service that i didnt ask for. VFS is better. They are open and honest.
