“As long as you are in Spain legally (and not over your 90/180 for example), you can reapply as soon as you’d like after your initial DNV rejection. However, let’s hope that’s not the case and you are approved the first time!”
“I just realized, that you are from Philippines so might be applying from the consulate? In that case that’s different as you would not be on a tourist visa.”
“As far as I know, you can reapply practically immediately after rejection—no interval in between. What was the reason for your rejection?”
