Following the entry into force on May 20, 2025, of the new Immigration Regulation (Royal Decree 1155/2024, of November 19), and in accordance with Articles 34, 35, and 36, we would like to inform applicants of the following updates:

PASSPORT:

Applicants must submit a valid passport or travel document recognized as valid in Spain, with a minimum validity of one year.

APPLICATION SUBMISSION:

Visa applications must be submitted at least two months prior to the start date of the studies or activities to be carried out, unless duly justified reasons are provided that prevent submission within this timeframe.

Dear Applicants,

Due to new restrictions, we would like to inform you that children under the age of 12 are no longer allowed to enter our Visa Application Centre in Tangier. You are only required to bring a recent photograph of your child (less than one month old) when submitting the application.

BLS International advises visa applicants to be cautious and vigilant regarding the following points:

• Our staff never asks visa applicants to pay in cash or via any other payment method to secure an appointment, speed up the visa application process, secure an earlier appointment, or influence decision-making.
• We do not recommend direct payment into personal bank accounts.
• Appointments should only be booked via the BLS website; please check the website for authorized service charges payable to BLS International.
• Always request a receipt for optional value-added services available at our Centre.
• The decision on the visa application is made solely by the relevant authorities, and BLS International has no role or influence in this process.
• If you receive such a request (in writing or verbally), please report it immediately by filling in the complaint form or by sending an email to antifraud@blsinternational.com or to the Centre Manager.
• Beware of intermediaries selling visa appointments under the name of BLS International or individually outside our Centre.
• All appointments must be booked through the BLS International website. Please do not purchase appointments through a third party; this is a fraudulent practice that BLS International strongly condemns. As a responsible service provider, we make every effort to inform candidates to beware of fraudulent intermediaries who charge clients a fee for booking appointments.

• Only debit or credit cards in the applicant's name will be accepted. We will not accept payment cards in the name of a third party or anonymous cards.
• Please note that anyone providing false information when making an appointment, such as name, passport number, email, and telephone number, will not be allowed to submit their application on the day of the appointment at the Visa Centre. The applicant's details at the time of booking the appointment must be the same as when they submitted their application and must correspond to the Schengen visa form.
• Before confirming the appointment, you must check your details: NAME, FIRST NAME, PASSPORT NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH, as well as the Consular Jurisdictions. This is to eliminate fraud via third-party intermediaries.

We urge applicants to provide an email address that reflects their personal name.

The last four digits of your credit card/other necessary details will be checked at reception in our center. If they do not match or any discrepancy is noted, you will not be allowed to submit your documents.

Please note that the provisions set forth in the above paragraph do not apply to children under the age of 18. They may proceed with the payment using a credit card registered in the name of their parents.

For joint applications, payment must be made using a credit card registered in the name of one of the applicants.
