Hi i cannot seem to pass through the camera verification even after nodding the head and its so annoying. It always says invalid format. What to do? 4:18
Hi, Skatz, thanks so very much for all you help on your channel, I'm at my wits end trying to get an appointment at London office BLS for NLV, trying for over a week, email, phone number from Chris @ Upsticks and the BLS website which now doesn't recognise my login details? Also a strange keyboard when inputting password. I can't speak to Chris by phone for weeks it seems. Please help me if you have updated info. My best peas and fluff ! Emma B
Hi Skatz thanks for all the information. I am starting the process for a NLV for my mum. She qualifies for all the financial, ACRO and S1 perspectives as well as being medically clear from infectious issues. My main question is that she has a diagnosis of dementia. Is this going to be any issue when submitting the application? (I will of course attend with her…). Many thanks
In terms of healthcare she’s covered with the S1. I would imagine they will want to know about what care is in place for her as her condition progresses.
Thank you. That’s good to know. She will be able to employ a private care worker through her pension to help support her, plus I will be with her too. If she needs to eventually live in a nursing home she can afford this privately too through pension and savings. Thank you for your help. I will hopefully speak to Upsticks soon to help guide us through the process. Many thanks
@@MarkHammerman sounds like a good plan. I would book your appointment with Chris soon, he has a waiting list for callbacks and with the Christmas break it’ll be even longer than normal.

Hi i was applying an appointment and my payment was done. But it prompted that payment hasn’t come through they will confirm the appointment once they receive it. Issue was during the application process my page had froze and i did refresh it one point however it still did take me to payment. Do you think its wise to wait or start a new appointment application?
Hi I am try to get an appointment for 4,weeks now. But on payment it shows processing or don’t honor It’s tourist visa for me and daughter what should I do
@ I’m not familiar with the appointments system in the Spanish consulate in Pakistan, is it an online, digital booking system? And if so, are you saying that it’s not letting you complete the booking process or that you’ve applied successfully but you’re waiting for an appointment date to come through.
@ it’s an online appointment where you have to pay by credit card , but when it comes to payment it shows error like processing than it restarts and shows do not honor, I have tried 3 cards and attempted 40 times nothing works
@ then i would suggest contacting the consulate to ask them how to proceed. There must be a way to report that the system isn’t working. If not, then are there visa specialists that can advise you?
Heya Skatz, My wife is currently in the UK on Tier 2 Skilled worker visa and I'm in the Spain with PR. She wants to visit spain and we want to go to places. Since she's from asia she needs a visa, we already applied for a 90 days visa and it has just ended. We are planning to get longer visa and not only 90 days, what visa is the one we should apply, there is so little information about what each subtype visa mean.
I’m a little confused by your situation. I would consult an immigration lawyer because it sounds like a Schengen Visa will be necessary to be in the EU and also some kind of Spanish visa if your wife wants to live with you in Spain. I don’t know how having just finished a 90 day visa will affect what she can do.
Basically what we want is a tourist visa but not of 3 months, since Tourist visa is a short term(90 days) visa. She isn't planning to reside in Spain but visit it frequently without having to apply visa every 3 months.
Hi Skatz, don't know if you can help me? I'm a UK citizen, but haven't lived in the UK for some 20 years. Travelling in the USA, Mexico, then lived in Guatemala for 12 years. Now been travelling in South America for 2 years. So where do I apply?
For Spain Non Lucrative Visas, you apply at the nearest consulate to where you’re officially resident and have proof of address. So that might be a bit tricky for you, are you registered anywhere? Sounds like you have a very interesting story to tell with all that travelling.
Hi, me and my girlfriend are trying to go spain and we cant seem to book an appointment for her with the london place. Our holiday is mid june and cant get anything out of them, how do i go around this?
@@matteocozzetto7807 okay, you could try this website www.visasalert.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2a6wBhCVARIsABPeH1tB3MMyR8h4-Ry8P6u318MSCuxlQev8FusQ3h_Rj7b1IxCb-K_ORsAaAuYVEALw_wcB
BLS service is horrible! I have been trying to get an appointment for months. I cannot begin to explain how horrible their website is. PLUS NOT A SINGLE APPOINTMENT FOR MONTHS. NO HELP FROM THEM!! I cannot believe that the Spanish consulate allow these people to represent them in such as way. USELESS SCAMMERS!
As always, really good, useful stuff Skatz. 👍
Cheers Kev
Thanks for the shoutout. We can´t wait until the 11th!!
Yay! 😀😀😀😀

Sorry, please explain where you’re doing a camera verification
Me too...I have tried several times and now frustrated 😠
Same!! After having entered all the hotel and flight details etc. Just before the payment it asks to take a selfie and nod but NEVER WORKS

@@btrn_1995 if she’s only visiting then the tourist visa is the only choice, and as far as I know she’d have to apply wherever she wants to visit.
