Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay after submitting my application?

Usually not. Most immigration procedures in Spain require the fee to be paid in advance and submitted with the rest of the documents.

How long is a paid 790 fee valid for?

Typically, three months. If you don’t submit it during that time, it’s safer to generate and pay a new one.

Can I pay by card?

Yes, but not all banks accept card payments for government fees. It’s best to bring cash just in case.

Can I submit the form unsigned?

No. The form must be signed and correctly completed, even if paid online.

---

What if I made a mistake on the form?

If you entered incorrect personal information or selected the wrong procedure, you should generate and pay a new form. Many errors cannot be corrected once submitted, and using the wrong form may delay your application.
