Question
After almost 3 months since my 1st non lucrative Spain visa renewal application, I finally got a status response. But what does “TRAMITE – REQUERIDO” mean?
As far as I know, I submitted all the required documents and paid the necessary fees. The SEDE website does not specify what else is required to process my application.
