You hold an Indian passport and live in the tri-state on a Green Card, H-1B or F-1 — so you apply for Spain from the US, through BLS International for the Consulate of Spain in New York. One Spain visa opens all 27 Schengen countries — we build the file and handle BLS.
Can an Indian passport holder living in New York apply for a Spain visa from the US?
Yes. As an Indian national with US permanent residency (Green Card) or a valid US visa such as H-1B, F-1, J-1 or L-1, you apply for your Spain Schengen visa in the US, not in India. Spain uses BLS International here: you apply in person at the BLS-Spain New York centre for the Consulate General of Spain in New York, whose jurisdiction covers New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The €90 Type-C visa lets you travel across all 27 Schengen countries.

Residence decides where you apply
A Schengen visa is applied for from your country of legal residence — so India’s centres don’t apply to you. In the US, Spain uses BLS International, and the New York district reaches five states. The three things that trip people up:
The BLS appointment. In-person submission at BLS-Spain New York — slots fill fast in peak season.
Proving US residence. Your Green Card or valid visa must be valid at least three months beyond your return.
The five-state jurisdiction. NY, CT, DE, PA and NJ — different again from Italy's and France's New York districts.
The €90 consulate fee is non-refundable — a poorly framed file wastes it. Opaige builds the version Spain approves the first time.
What Opaige does
We book your BLS-Spain New York appointment inside your travel window and build a file calibrated to how the Consulate of Spain reviews it — Spain-primary itinerary, clean financials and documented US ties — so a review reaches one conclusion: genuine visitor who returns to the US.
We confirm your Green Card or visa status qualifies and package your proof of US residence as the consulate expects.
NY, CT, DE, PA and NJ — we confirm you're eligible through New York before booking.
We frame Spain as your main destination correctly, so your visa opens every Schengen country cleanly.
Front-loaded document quality so the consulate doesn't pause for more information and cost you weeks.
