How long does the Spanish Consulate in San Francisco take to issue a tourist visa (March 2022)?
In the past (pre-pandemic), the Spanish Consulate in SF has issued visas in 48 hours to people who fly in to SF for an appointment. Has anyone applied for a Schengen Visa at the Spanish Consulate recently? If so, how long did it take to get the visa issued? I am unsure of how to budget my time in San Francisco.
