FAQ

Can ApplyToSpain guarantee approval?

No. ApplyToSpain prepares and reviews the file, but decisions are made by Spanish authorities, consulates, universities, or other third parties.

Yes. Requirements and appointment rules can vary by consulate, nationality, residence country, and date of submission.

Can family members be included?

Some routes allow family members, but the evidence and funds must be reviewed before the file is built.
