Oh this is giving me flashbacks to waiting for our France visas, which sadly did not work out. But glad you received some good news! Best of luck in the rest of the process!

Here's why you can't get anything done https://valenciaproperty.substack.com/p/why-you-cant-get-things-done-in-spain A month by month guide.

Just one thing, the reason they always ask for an extra bit of paper is because they have to answer in a certain time period or "Silencio Administativo" clicks in and things are automatically approved although how you actually prove that then becomes a moot point.

I read that post and nodded along in agreement. 😅

Yes, it was a form that I didn’t even realize they needed. One page. One signature. But it paused the process for a day. It took every bit of 90 days.

Congratulations! I'm reading from France hoping every time I get a new emails its saying my visa is approved haha. The living year to year thing is definitely tiring, but worth it when it all works out

Bureaucracy solidarity from Portugal. And congratulations on getting to the fingerprint appointment stage! It's such a relief when the process finally moves forward!

It's so wild that even though the tramites have now been digitized in an app, it hasn't made the process any easier and somehow more agonizing. Oh Spain...

They need to update one of my favorite short films to reflect this! jajaja
