<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;), Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) hereby requests
that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;Commission&rdquo;) consent to the immediate withdrawal of the Company&rsquo;s
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (File No. 333-199835) originally filed on June 2, 2021, EDGAR Tagged
as Form Type &ldquo;POS AM,&rdquo; Accession Number 0000950103-21-008287, together with all exhibits thereto (collectively, the &ldquo;Amendment&rdquo;).&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">We are requesting withdrawal of the Amendment because
of a filing error relating to the EDGAR coding. The Amendment was incorrectly coded and filed under the EDGAR submission form type of
&ldquo;POS AM&rdquo; rather than the intended EDGAR submission form type of &ldquo;S-8 POS.&rdquo; No securities have been sold under
the Amendment. We re-filed the Company&rsquo;s Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement (File No. 333-199835)
with the correct EDGAR submission form type of &ldquo;S-8 POS&rdquo; on June 2, 2021, Accession No. 0000950103-21-008300.</P>
