Should I apply for Spain non lucrative visa before getting apostilled my FBI background check?

Question about Spain non lucrative visa

Is it possible, or even a good idea to submit the Spain non lucrative visa application BEFORE receiving my apostilled FBI background check?

Answers

These are the answers of some Facebook group members:

”No. They won’t move forward on it or accept it if it’s incomplete. We tried it with that very item missing”

”You have to have all docs required before applying or else they won’t consider your application”

”No, do as application states simple”

”Nope. You need to have everything ready when you apply. The Apostille of the FBI background check takes a long time. Then you need a translator. Alba Fernandez did ours and she was fast and very good”

”Not that simple. We are going for our appointment waiting on these documents. It’s OK. You just won’t get your visa until you have them. Our appointment was moved up, so the Montreal Consulate is OK with it. However, no correct documentation, no visa”

Conclusion

In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, it is generally not advisable to submit your visa application before receiving your FBI apostilled background check or any other required documents.

The application process typically requires all necessary documentation to be complete at the time of submission.

While some individuals may have experienced flexibility with appointment dates or consulate requirements, it’s crucial to adhere to the specific instructions provided in the application guidelines to avoid any delays or complications in obtaining your visa.
