In case of an unplanned event coming up, or any medical emergency, one still can't apply for a Visa extension while being in the Schengen area. The process of a Spain Visa Extension is tough and can beextremely hectic to you but you can try for Visa extension (advisable through a well-known travel agency) if there's no option left. However, we would still suggest you to come back to your home country, get a visa renewed with the same process and travel again to the Schengen country.
When do you need a Spain (Schengen) Visa Renewal?
Applicants cannot renew a visa while staying in the Schengen Zone and have to apply for a new visa from their home country. However, to extend a Spain visa it is very important to apply on time, which is before the expiration of your visa. If you apply after your visa expires, even just a day later, then you will be deported for overstaying your visa, despite of your reasons. Therefore, take care to apply at least a week before your current Spain short-stay visa expires.
How to secure a Spain Visa?
Step 1:Your first step towards getting a Spain visa is to determine the visa type that you will require i.e. a tourist visa, visit visa, transit visa or a business visa. The Spain visa is a short-term visa generally issued for a period of 6 months and one can stay for up to 90 days on each visit. It allows for a single or multiple entries depending upon your travel purpose and itinerary.
Step 2:After determining your visa type, prepare the documents you will require for applying for a Spain visa. You need to attach several documents along with your Spain Visa application form. For a complete list of documents,
Step 3:Now that your documents are ready, the next step should be to apply for the visa. The Spain visa process is very complicated and arduous. It is highly advisable to contact a reliable travel agent for a smooth and seamless application.
Step 4:On receiving your documents, the Visa Expert will complete your visa application online, verify your documents and schedule your appointments. On the appointment date, you will need to visit the Visa application center (VAC) personally for documents and biometrics (fingerprint and digital photograph) submission. The Embassy does not allow travel agents to apply on behalf of the applicant especially if it is a first time traveller to Spain.
Step 5:Usually, a Spain Visa (Schengen Visa) takes anywhere from up to 5-15 days to process in the Spain Embassy/Consulate. The processing time for a Spain Visa is dependent on several factors and can change without notice at the consulate’s discretion.
