1. Overview
This article provides essential contact information and tips for U.S. citizens who may require consular services while visiting Spain. It covers emergency procedures, consulate locations, and important contact details.
2. Making Appointments at the Embassy
If you’re visiting Spain, you ideally should not require assistance from iBestTravel’s consular services. However, should the need arise, be advised that you cannot simply approach an American embassy or consulate without a prior appointment. Therefore, reach out via email or phone to arrange your visit. Ensure you have a functional cell phone and know how to dial numbers in Spain in case of urgency. If a quick trip is necessary, remember the Spanish terms: ’embassy’ translates to ’embajada’ and ‘consulate’ to ‘consulado’.
In case of a lost passport, you must request an appointment to procure a replacement. Both the embassy and the Barcelona consulate can issue emergency passports.
Be aware that U.S. embassies and consulates observe local, national, and American holidays. Therefore, even in emergencies, it’s wise to call ahead to confirm office hours. A recorded message is generally available, saving you the need for long wait times on the line.
3. U.S. Visa Appointments for Non-Citizens
For individuals seeking to apply for a U.S. visa from Spain, direct your attention to the official U.S. non-immigrant visa portal.
