Online only booking service. Manchester Consulate is easier. Also only open on Monday morning and Tuesday morning. Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply.  Do you know why they are only open on Mondays and Tuesdays?  Covid...............?

Good afternoon Sammy,

We emailed the following link [email protected]

They then send you an email with a link to book your slot. Generally 2-3 weeks only in advance. Once booked they will email again 4 days prior to appointment. You have 24 hours to confirm your appointment. We had no issues booking this way, plenty of slots available in London. We had our appointment today at 1130. We went early 10.00 to ensure we were at the right place. The guard spoke with us and let us straight in. The lady who dealt with us was great. 20 minutes in and out. Just have to wait now for phone call or email to say visa's are ready.

Hope it helps.

Mick

 Thank you for your help. Do you know how long you have to wait between the appointment and the visa ? Also apart from handing in all the documents, do you also have an interview or have the Consulate stopped that due to Covid restrictions ?

Thank you for all your help 😄

Evening,

No interviews. We handed in passports and paperwork on 8th February. We put 1st March as arrival date in Spain and she didn't say either way, but no not a chance reaction. Just waiting for a phone call or email to say ready to collect. We know its at 11am each day to collect when ready.

That's great that they no longer do the interview as that would mean going back and forth. Are Spain still asking for locator forms on arrival ? Like you I shall be glad when the visas are through and all this documents and waiting ends. 

Thank you for keeping me updated 🤩

Yes locator forms still required, but alot more easier than the UK one's. Also as of Monday 17 and under do not require vaccinations, just a PCR test 72 hours beforehand.
