Dear Team
At the request of Parque Empresarial Colón Administration , and in line with security and operational
considerations for Guayaquil VAC, we would like to reinforce the following message on the BLS website
through a pop-up notification in our website
This message is intended to inform applicants that only individuals with a valid appointment may enter the
center, and to reinforce that accompanying persons should not remain in the corridors or immediate external
areas for security and operational reasons. It also provides guidance for companions to wait in designated
areas within the park, such as cafés and food outlets.
For general inquiries and appointments , applicants should contact: info.gye@blsinternational.com
For national visa appointments, including studies, family reunification, work, non-lucrative visas,
and EU family member appointments, applicants should contact:
nacionales.gye@blsinternational.com
We would like to inform our applicants that, due to the peak season, we are making temporary adjustments
and rescheduling some appointments for national visas in order to ensure the proper handling of all
applications. Thank you for your understanding.
Appointments will be available throughout the week until all slots are filled.
Book your appointment as soon as possible.
DO NOT FALL INTO FRAUD AND BEWARE OF SCAMS !
BLS International advises visa applicants to exercise caution and vigilance regarding the
following points:
Our staff never ask visa applicants to make cash payments or any other form of payment to obtain an
appointment, expedite the visa application process, secure an earlier appointment, or influence
decision-making.
We do not recommend any direct payments into personal bank accounts.
Appointments must be booked exclusively through the BLS website. Please refer to the website for authorized
service fees payable to BLS International.
Always request a receipt for optional value-added services available at our center.
The decision regarding visa applications is made solely by the competent authorities, and BLS International
has no role or influence in this process. If you receive such a request (in writing or verbally), please
report it immediately by completing the complaint form or by sending an email to antifraud@blsinternational.com.
Be cautious of intermediaries selling visa appointments under the name of BLS International or individually
outside our center. All appointments must be booked through the BLS International website. Please refrain
from purchasing appointments through a third party: this is a fraudulent practice that BLS International
strongly condemns. As a responsible service provider, we make every effort to inform applicants to be wary
of fraudulent intermediaries charging fees to clients for appointment bookings.
Schengen visa appointments are released every Thursday from 20:00 for the subsequent three
weeks. Please be aware after that time to make your appointment, because due to high demand they are quickly

your appointment at BLS.

Guayaquil and therefore will not have any advantages for obtaining an appointment or a visa. The only
