Spain (BLS): standalone product. Monitoring covers Algiers and Oran only (ALG1/ALG2/ALG3 and ORAN1/ORAN2/ORAN3 plus home service). A reachable website does not mean an appointment is available; we only send an appointment alert on an actual availability signal.

RMDS provides an appointment ALERT service only: we notify you when potential availability is detected. We do not book, do not access your account or the customer portal, do not bypass any protection (CAPTCHA), do not submit appointment requests, do not pay appointment fees and do not guarantee availability. RMDS represents no VFS, TLS or BLS centre, embassy or consulate.

Site reachable ≠ appointment available: an appointment alert is only sent on an actual availability signal.

This service only sends alerts when potential appointment availability is detected. It does not include booking and does not guarantee that the slot will still be available when you access the official platform. Booking remains the customer's responsibility.

Spain Visa and Appointment Guide for Applicants in Algeria

In Algeria, Spanish Schengen visa applications are submitted through BLS International centres. This guide explains the difference between travel purpose and BLS appointment category, and helps you identify your competent centre. The information is indicative and must always be checked against the official sources.

The travel purpose (tourism, business, family visit…) is not the BLS appointment category. The category (ALG1–ALG4 or family group) depends on your Schengen visa history.

Spain — BLS

Appointment opening information (indicative)

  • Tuesday from 16:00 onward
  • Friday from 16:00 onward

This is indicative information about the announced opening schedule, not a real-time availability status. The standalone Spain (BLS) Appointment Alerts service is available below; actual availability remains determined solely by the official BLS centre.

ALG1–ALG4 appointment categories

  • ALG1

    The applicant has never obtained a Schengen visa; or obtained a Spanish Schengen visa before 1 January 2021; or most recently obtained a Schengen visa issued by another Schengen country.

  • ALG2

    The applicant obtained a Spanish Schengen visa since 1 January 2021 with validity shorter than 6 months.

  • ALG3

    The applicant obtained a Spanish Schengen visa since 1 January 2021 with validity of 6 months or more but less than 2 years.

  • ALG4

    The applicant obtained a Spanish Schengen visa since 1 January 2021 with validity of 2 years or more.

  • Family group

    Separate family-group appointment route. Applicants must verify that their accompanying relatives satisfy BLS family-group requirements.

An incorrect category may cause refusal of submission or loss of provider fees. Verify your category on the official BLS website before booking or payment.

  • • Eligible family members may use one card subject to official family conditions.
  • • An unauthorized third-party payment card may cause appointment cancellation or loss of fees.
  • • Applicants must always verify the current payment and collection rules on the official BLS website.
