Situation: main DTV holder and kid got accepted in Jakarta

Applying for husband as dependent in Spain.

Or is it better to wait until back in Jakarta and apply for him from there, too?

Anyone with experiences? 🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether to apply for a dependent visa for the husband while in Spain or to wait until back in Jakarta for a potentially smoother process. A commenter suggests that applying in Jakarta may be preferable due to less bureaucratic hassle compared to European embassies.

Better to apply in Jakarta where it's a lot less cumbersome. I heard many embassies in EU ask too many documents.
