Can I get a student Visa for Spain w/out making an appointment?
I am trying to get a student visa for Spain and the consulate in my state does not issue visas, so I have to go to Miami. But the problem is that I can't go to Miami due to finances and school. People have told me that I can mail my passport and documents to the consulate. However, the consulate told me that I must make an appointment. Are there any services in Washington, D.C. where I can mail my passport and other documents to get a student visa?

After 911 do you really even have to ask this question? Of course there aren't. If there are the government may as well open up a pilots school for terrorists. I'm sorry to be so harsh but really think about it. I hope the powers that be are thinking better than this. And if the embassy told you that you'd HAVE to have an apt why are you here asking us to say no you don't? Sorry bad week. Love is the answer, Pandora

You must apply for the visa at the Spanish consulate general which covers the state you are residing in. You must make an appointment and either apply in person or by a legal representative. From a Spanish Consulate website: VISA APPLICATIONS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED BY MAIL, NOR RETURNED BY MAIL Student visas must be applied for in person or by a legal representative who presents his/her identification and a written notarized authorization from the applicant. The authorization must indicate the name and passport number of the applicant and the name and document number (e.g. driver’s license number or passport number) of the person dropping off the application. Study Abroad Program Directors and/or Coordinators may request authorization from this Consulate to act as legal representatives for their whole group of students. Priority will be given to those visa applications when submitted in a group by a program representative, provided the applications are presented more than one month prior to the departure date. STUDENT VISAS MUST ALWAYS BE PICKED UP IN PERSON BY THE APPLICANT.
