New Spanish visa application center opens in Playa
The site will receive documents and serve applicants, but decisions on each case will remain with the Spanish Consulate General in Havana.
A center for processing Spanish visa applications opened Monday in Havana's Playa municipality. More than 30 people were waiting for their turn at the new site.
The center will receive applications and documents, serve the public, and deliver passports and decisions when cases are complete. Approval or denial of visas will remain the exclusive responsibility of the Spanish Consulate General in Havana.
Maura Lindsay, who had waited since July for an appointment to request a student visa, welcomed the opening of another location. She also said some users arrived confused about document collection and payments.
