New UK visa hub lands in Barcelona
"The new office is at Carrer de Sardenya 229, 3rd floor, Office 1, 08013 Barcelona. It's appointment-only and open four days a week. You don't need a visa for short tourist trips if you're a Spanish citizen. You do if you're heading to the UK to work, study, join family or stay longer. Demand is steady: last year 7,045 Spain-based applicants filed UK visa requests, and early-2025 data shows Skilled Worker and Senior/Specialist Worker among the most popular routes."
"The process is straightforward and starts online: Complete the application on the UKVI website (choose your visa type and pay the fee). When prompted to pick a biometrics location, select "VFS Global - Barcelona (Premium Application Centre)" and book your slot. Turn up with your passport and supporting documents for biometrics and submission. Tip: if you're travelling soon, the Priority or Super Priority processing options (where available for your route) can speed up decisions. Check availability during the online application."
