In July of this year, they did not open a visa to Spain, put a 1C stamp on their passport. What does this mean, and when can I apply again to the Schengen countries?
Responds Anna Elnikova, head of the visa department of the company "Megapolus Tours" (tour operator)
1C - as a rule, such a refusal means insufficient number of documents submitted for opening a visa. Perhaps you have attached a certificate with a small salary or insufficient amount of money is in your bank account.
After such a refusal, you can apply for a visa at once, but only at the Spanish consulate, since no Schengen embassy will refuse to accept documents with the refusal of another country.
The next time you apply for a Spanish visa, we recommend that you attach the maximum of certificates and statements from the account.
