In December last year, I was denied a visa to the UK. The purpose of the trip was training. Now I submit documents to the Embassy of Spain for a trip to the Canary Islands. The group rides 100 people. I have never been abroad, I'm 22 years old, I'm not married, no children. What are the chances of obtaining a Spanish visa? And what consequences are possible in case of refusal?

Firstly, in order not to lose money for the tour - you will issue an insurance against travel on a program that includes a repeated refusal to visa. Consulates of any country can refuse a visa at their discretion, anyone who wants to get a visa, without explaining the reasons, is difficult to predict, especially when all documents are in perfect order. Based on our experience, the probability that you will be denied a Spanish visa is 30%. UK is not included in the Schengen.
