Lost my passport and Schengen visa in Spain
I lost my passport and my schengen visa in Spain. How can I get a new schengen visa ASAP? I have already booked my flight which cost me more than 800 euro and my trip will start next Tuesday December 16th. All my flights were booked from budget airline and not refundable.
I am Chinese but study at a university in Singapore. I came to Madrid for an exchange program from September to December. I got my visa from the Embassy of Spain in Singapore. I already went to the Embassy of China in Madrid and they are helping me with my temporary passport now. I think that I should be able to get it within this week.
How can I get a new Schengen visa? Most importantly, who shall I contact? I have been to a lot of police stations but they are not very helpful.

For immediate advice I would suggest visiting a Oficina de Extranjeros, which is a local foreigners office.
There is a link below, but in Spanish
