03Where requests break
Wasted visits nearly always trace back to small things. A surname spelt one way on the form and another in the passport. A fee paid under the wrong option. A reason with nothing on paper to support it. A booking made for a different procedure.
All of these can be caught before the day, and catching them is the heart of a case. By the time you leave home, every sheet in the folder has been checked against what that desk expects.
04In your case
- A document list built around your situation
- EX-15 and Modelo 790-012 drafted for you to sign and pay
- A slot search for the Zaragoza office
- A desk briefing: what to bring, what happens
- Status emails at every stage, in plain English

Questions
Yes, as long as another reason is on paper. Offers are the usual one in Zaragoza, but an admission, a purchase or a bank's request can serve as well. We help you find the one that fits.
For a request filed in Zaragoza, yes; the alternative is a consulate abroad. Either way everything is prepared ahead, so the visit stays brief.
Not always: the office decides how and when it is delivered and tells you at the desk. The real wait usually comes earlier, while hunting for the slot.
Renew first if you can. The EX-15 must match a valid passport, and swapping passports mid-way breeds mismatches.
