I’m married to an EU National but live in the UK (I’m not a British or EU citizen). In theory I should be able to apply for a short-term spousal visa when we travel to Spain together, but there are no appointments available (at all) due to a shortage of appointment spots allocated to VFS.
There are bots that offer notifications when slots open up, but only for “tourism” visas.
On the VFS website they make a distinction between tourism and spousal visas, so I’m worried that if I book an appointment spot for a tourism visa I won’t be able to get a spousal visa. The difference might be important because the spousal visa requires fewer documents, so if I prepare for that I may not have everything for a tourism visa.
Can I use a tourist visa appointment at VFS to apply for a short term spouse visa?
