Hello everyone,
I’m a Bahraini citizen who applied for the Spanish freelance/self-employed visa at the Spanish Embassy in Kuwait over three months ago. Since submitting all required documents, I’ve been informed that my application is awaiting the “Emigration Green Line” approval in Spain. However, I haven’t received any updates or decisions since then.
I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experienced similar delays, especially those who applied through embassies in the Gulf region. I’m particularly interested in:
• Typical processing times for this stage
• Any steps you took to follow up or expedite the process
• Advice on contacting Spanish authorities for updates
• Potential implications of applying for a tourist visa in another Schengen country while awaiting this visa
Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
