The Consulate General of Spain in Chennai processes tourist visa applications for residents of the following states and union territories. Submit your application at the BLS International Chennai centre — the primary application centre for South India applicants.
Note: Jurisdiction assignments are based on your registered residential address in India. Always confirm your applicable centre on blsindia.com before booking your appointment.
★ Gold services are optional paid add-ons. They do not affect visa decision speed or approval outcome.
Visit blsindia.com/spainvisa/india/ ↗ and create an applicant profile. Fill out the online application form accurately and print the completed form with the barcode. BLS Chennai requires this at the time of submission.
Log into your BLS dashboard → choose "Book an Appointment" → select Chennai. Slots open dynamically based on centre capacity. Check the portal regularly, as availability changes frequently without a fixed daily refresh time.
Pick your preferred date and time. If applying as a family, group all applicants under one booking. Optionally add Premium Lounge or Prime Time slots for priority processing at an additional fee.
Complete the online payment for VFS service charges and any optional services. Download and print your appointment confirmation — you must present this physically at the centre. You will also receive email/SMS confirmation.
Arrive 15 minutes early at DBS House, Nungambakkam. Carry: printed confirmation, original passport, application form with barcode, photos, financial proofs, travel insurance, itinerary, and accommodation details. Consular fees are payable at the centre. Biometrics are enrolled during the visit.
Processing insights are observational and based on general applicant experience. Actual timelines depend on Consulate workload, individual application complexity, and seasonal factors. For current processing times see Spain visa processing time by centre →
