New E-Visa application process at the U.S. Embassy in Madrid
John Montesanti • December 21, 2023
The U.S. Embassy in Madrid introduced a simplified E-visa application process in November 2023.
The primary aim is to streamline and expedite the processing period to 90 business days or less. Applicants now have three options:
- Option 1 for spouses or children of current E-visa holders;
- Option 2 for employees joining established U.S. companies with a history of E visa approvals, and;
- Option 3 for first-time companies and select renewals.
Confidentiality concerns are addressed by allowing sealed envelopes for sensitive documents. The revamped process reflects a commitment to a more efficient and transparent application experience.
