Consulate General of Spain

"I booked my NIE appointment via email. Received quick response confirming time and date, with clear instructions what is needed etc. When at the consulate, I was seen on time, the appointment was quick without any issues. Thank you for great service!"

"I recently applied for the conservation of Spanish nationality. I had to travel a few times from Newcastle to get this sorted. The consulate has been super helpful in many aspected. They have been very communicative via email and are clear about the documents that I had to bring. It was a bit difficult to get hold of them by phone, but they would still answer after few attempts. Very helpful on the phone, they try to resolve your problem and don’t just fob you off if they don’t know the answer, but always tried to ask another colleague for opinion. When I arrived, very helpful again. Once I filled in the wrong details on the form, and the consulate was about to close. The staff knew I traveled all the way from Newcastle, so they have stayed late to reprint the forms and wait for us to complete again. Very nice on the desk and polite. Always tried to help and tried to help us complete our application as smoothly as possible with minimum travel back again to the consulate. I had a very positive experience with this consulate."

"My experience has been good. The staff was helpful and it was really easy. 5 star service, I don't understand the negative reviews. Thank you"

"A very difficult place to deal with. Staff are obstructive, don't answer emails or the phone, don't know their own procedures and can't accept they're wrong. You pay a pretty penny and are treated horribly. Best of luck to anyone dealing with this consulate!"

".. Tailor Made Healthcare Spain have assisted many British NLV visa and Golden visa applicants with setting up the visa compliant Spanish private healthcare policy. Different US consulates have different requirements which can be confusing. Edinburgh seems to have a team that are consistant and have responded to our questions promptly when questioning their requirement for medical insurance start datesrecently we have always found them helpful."
