Tourist Visa (Schengen) for holiday in Spain

[BanoffeePi]

Hi there,

My husband is a British citizen and I am an Indian passport holder living in the Uk on a spouse visa and i have a BRP card. We are going to Spain on a short holiday. My husband is paying for the whole trip and he is providing his payslips, bank statements, employment letter, etc. for my visa application. I have downloaded the documents checklist and one of the points say that In case of the sponsored trip: notarized sponsorship letter duly dated and signed, officially translated into Spanish, supported by the following sponsor documents: passport (original and copy), employment letter officially translated, last 6-month original bank statements
Does my husband need to provide the notarized sponsorship letter?

Many thanks,
Joy

Have you tried calling the VFS and asking them this question? They may be able to help, worth a try anyway.

It's BLS and yes I have. It's a customer care service, spoke to two different associates. Neither of them could provide any information regarding my query.

Does my husband need to provide the notarized sponsorship letter? Yes to show that he approves you using his documents, they can't be bothered to read it English.

If they request for it then you have to get them done. It sounds like the documents that you would need to submit regardless.
The UK has obviously left the EU, otherwise your marriage certificate and your spouse's passport would have been enough.
