The short answer
No. Visa appointments are personal because biometrics and identity verification are captured from the applicant. Nobody can attend in your place, though a companion may accompany minors, senior citizens and applicants who need assistance.
How this works for Spain applications
Fingerprints, a facial image and signature are captured against your passport at the appointment, so attendance cannot be delegated. Where an applicant genuinely cannot travel to the centre, the correct route is to reschedule, not to send someone else.
A representative can, in most systems, submit documents or collect a passport on your behalf with a signed authorisation letter and their own photo ID — but never sit the biometric or interview appointment.
For Spain, appointments in India run through BLS International under Embassy of Spain in India, with indicative processing of 15 days short-stay. The rule above applies at every Indian centre serving this mission.
