Spain Tourist Visa: Who Needs One & How to Get It

Spain tourist visa

Would you like to enter and visit Spain? Then most likely you will need a tourist visa . In this article we will explore everything you need to know about Schengen visas: if you actually need to apply for one, how to do it step by step, requirements and more!

What is a tourist visa in Spain?

A tourist visa is the term that foreigners usually use to refer to a Schengen visa ; that is, the visa that allows citizens from outside the EU to travel, enter and visit this region.

If you want to visit Spain for a maximum of 90 days, you must apply for a Schengen tourist visa .

Nevertheless, this document or permission is not granted for any specific country: you apply for a visa that allows you to enter all the 25 countries that share a common border policy within the European Union .

Also, bear in mind that according to your country of origin, it is possible that you are not required to get this tourist or Schengen visa . As long as your country and Spain have a double treaty agreement, you can enter the country without one ( but still meeting the requirements ).

Where and how can I apply for it?

The Schengen visa allows you to travel within the whole area without problems.

But if you are just visiting one specific country, then you will have to attend its embassy or consulate in your country of origin to apply for your Schengen tourist visa .

But what happens if I am visiting more than one country within those 90 days?

Then you must apply at the consulte or embassy of the country you will spend more nights at (or of that which constitutes the first point of entry if you are spending equal nights in all your destinations).

You will basically need to make an appointment with the consulate to register your biometric data and to submit all the required documents, which we explore below.

Main requirements

On the day of the appointment at the consulate or embassy, you must bring and submit:

  • Your visa application form , properly completed. You can download a model here .
  • Valid passport (which can’t expire beyond 3 months after leaving the Schengen Area).
  • Airline reservation tickets (which must be round trip flights), demonstrating entry and exiting of the Schengen area.
  • Proof of accommodation or invitation letter .
  • Proof of financial means to sustain yourself in the country during the time of your visit (via bank statement); including last tax return if you are self-employed and letter of employment if not.
  • Travel insurance . Here you can find the main providers .
  • Two recent ID photos .
  • Visa fee , which varies according to the specific consulate (but can be around € 80).

When should you apply for your tourist visa for Spain?

You can’t apply earlier than 180 before your planned entry into the country, but that same application must be made a minimum of 3 weeks before your departure .

Despite the process being quite fast, it can take up to 15 working days to receive your visa response.

Nevertheless, in some cases the application can take longer , so our recommendation is that you start as soon as possible within those 6 months.

Who needs a Spain Tourist Visa?

Basically, non-EU citizens from those countries that do not have visa-free entry into Spain , like China, Indica, African countries, and Russia.

You can find the complete list of countries that must apply for a Schengen visa to enter the Spanish territory here.

On the other hand, there are other countries that have a visa-free agreement , like the US, Brazil, or Canada, that don’t need a visa.

This exception just applies to nationals of those countries , not to residents.

But be careful!

In 2021 the new ETIAS system will be implemented , and from then on all non-European Union citizens will have to request a visa online. Learn how here .

How long can I stay in the country with a tourist or Schengen visa?

You can stay up to a maximum of 3 months (90 days in total) in the country within a period of 180 days. 

This is called the “ 90-day rule ”, and it applies to all countries within the Schengen Area .

This means that, if you spent 90 days in Spain but wish to stay longer, you will have two options:

  • You can either travel to any non-EU country and stay there for 3 extra months, then travel back to Spain
  • Or apply for any of the residence permits that can be obtained directly from Spain. Find the complete list of those residencies here .

If you are going to stay for the long run, it is crucial that you understand this last point, as many residencies must be applied from your country of origin (like the non-lucrative visa).

Can I extend my Schengen visa while being within the Schengen Area?

Even though the situations in which you can do it are limited, it is indeed possible to extend the duration of your tourist visa .

In that sense, only for the following reasons will that extension be available:

  • If you have a single-entry short-stay visa and have made a late entry to the Schengen area (meaning days after the visa became valid).
  • Due to humanitarian reasons and if the extension will help you avoid hardship, like keep receiving any kind of medical treatment or giving support to a relative going through a harsh situation.
  • If your home country is suffering any sudden situatio n (force majeure), like a conflict or war.
  • Personal reasons of major importance (even though it is unlikely you will be granted the extension in this case).

You must remain in that same country after you finish your extension application.

This application can last several days (time during which you don’t need to leave the country). In case the extension gets rejected, you will have a maximum of 2 days to leave.

Types of Schengen visas

As we have mentioned, a tourist visa is in fact a Schengen visa, a document that is equally valid for the different countries within the Schengen Area.

In that sense, we can find the following Schengen visas :

Business visa

If you are visiting Spain for less than 90 days for business reasons (like attending a business event, having certain meetings with your prospective clients, etc.) you must request a business visa .

If this is the case, the documents to be submitted will vary accordingly:

  • You will have to include on your application the invitation letter from the Spanish company you are meeting with.
  • If, on the other hand, you are attending any kind of event or fair, you must include the entry tickets .
  • A certification from your company or employer demonstrating that they allow you to embark on this business trip.

Airport transit visa (type A)

The airport transit visa will be requested if the foreigner is traveling to a different country but must stop in Spain in between (for example, to take a different plane that gets her to the final destination).

If you are from one of the following countries, you will need to get your airport transit visa in order to go through Spain : Cameroon, the Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Cuba, Djibouti, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, India, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Syria, Togo, Yemen, and Palestina.

Nevertheless, being a permanent United States resident with any of the before mentioned nationalities eliminates the need to get this visa.

Furthermore, nationals from the following countries need an airport transit visa to go through any of the Schengen countries : Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Irak, Nigeria, Pakistán, Somalia y Sri Lanka.

Student visa

In case you are enrolling in any kind of course or study in the country taking less than 3 months, you will have to get a student visa.

In that case, it will be required to include the acceptance letter from the university or school in which you are going to study.

Regular tourist visa

This is the most common type of Schengen visa, the one granted to those who want to visit the country for tourism or leisure activities .

The documentation that will be required can be found in prior sections of this article.

Other frequently asked questions

Here is a summary of the main questions foreigners wishing to visit Spain ask themselves more frequently:

What happens if my visa application gets rejected?

If that is the case, you have two different options :

  • If the reason that got your application is clear and you agree with it, you can formalize a new application but solving that what caused the rejection.
  • On the other hand, if you feel everything was right and no document was missing, you can initiate an appeal . But, again, follow with path only if you think there has been a mistake.

Can I work in Spain with a tourist visa?

No, in order to work in Spain you need a regular work permit .

You can just meet with your clients or do any other similar type of business activity in case you hold a business visa.

Can I join my relatives with my tourist visa?

No, you are allowed to visit them during the permitted 90 days, but once that period comes to an end you must leave the country.

So even though you have family members in the country, you can’t stay for the long run with them .

If that is your intention, you must apply for a family reunification visa or for a residence permit as an EU relative (if that is the case).

Spain is one of the most popular countries in the world with travelers and it's not hard to see why – incredible food, culture and the kind of sun-drenched landscape you thought only existed in your wildest vacation dreams.

Now imagine you finally get there only to be turned away at the airport....no, we don't what that for you either. With our round-up of all the essential visa information for Spain , you can figure out what you need and how to get it in order to ensure smooth sailing upon arrival.

Who doesn't need a visa for Spain?

Spain is part of the Schengen Area, which is a zone comprised of 27 European countries that have established unrestricted movement across their borders. If you're a citizen of an EU/EEA country that isn't part of this travel zone, you only need to show a national ID or your passport to enter Spain and you don't need a visa to enter or move around the travel zone. 

There are also some countries outside the EU/EEA that are permitted visa-free entry to Spain and up to 90 days of travel in a 180-day period within the Schengen Area. These include the UK, US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore and several South American countries, among others. You will need a minimum of three months' validity on your passport to travel and check well in advance of your trip to ensure your country qualifies for visa-free travel .

Keep in mind that you can only travel within the Schengen Zone for a maximum of 90 days. If you're planning to travel around after some time in Spain, you need to take into account the number of days you’ll be spending in each country and tally up the total.

You don't have to stay in the Schengen area for a consecutive 90 days – you can move in and out as you wish but 90 days is your max allowance in a 180-day period. Gauge the length of your Schengen-wide stay with online calculators if you're at all unsure, because overstaying the limit may result in authorities deporting you or prohibiting you from re-entering the bloc.

Meanwhile, the EU is expected to introduce its ETIAS visa waiver program in 2024. If you hold a non-EU passport, you’ll need to apply online for pre-authorization, along the lines of the USA’s ESTA scheme. Costing around €7, the process should be quick and painless.

How do I get a visa to visit Spain?

If you're a passport holder for any of the third countries listed here , you'll need to apply for a short-term tourist visa to visit Spain. This visa will cover you for up to 90 days of travel in a 180-day period within the Schengen Area, though the majority of your trip will need to be spent in Spain. Non-EU countries that require a visa include China, Ghana, India and Tanzania, among others.

Visa applications need to be made at the nearest Spanish embassy/consulate in your country of residence well in advance of your planned visit – up to three months ahead of your trip should be sufficient. You'll need two passport-sized photographs, a visa application form, your passport and evidence of health insurance to cover your planned time in Spain. You will also be asked for evidence of financial means to support yourself during your trip, as well as evidence of flight and accommodation bookings for the entire trip, including your return ticket. 

Schengen visas cost €80 for any applicant over 12, €40 for children aged between 6 and 12, and there is no charge for children under 6. Tourist visas are normally valid for six months and extensions are only possible in exceptional circumstances.

Can I extend my tourist visa?

It is possible to extend a short-term tourist visa as long as the authorized stay is shorter than 90 days, but only in exceptional cases that arise after entering Spain. 

Getting approval for a short-term visa extension is not an easy task and you will need an exceptional reason to secure it. Schengen visa policy states those reasons include late entry, humanitarian reasons, (needing medical treatment, the death of a family member, etc), force majeure, or other important personal reasons that the immigration authorities will consider.

It's imperative that you request a visa extension from either the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation or the Ministry of the Interior in Spain before your existing visa expires.

Overview of the Tourist Visa for Spain

When you apply for the tourist visa for Spain, you actually get the Schengen visa which will allow you to spend a maximum of 90 days in Spain. Furthermore, since Spain is part of the 27 countries in the  Schengen area , the visa permits you to visit Spain and other Schengen countries.

The tourist visa, also known as the category C short-stay visa, is purely for tourism and sightseeing purposes and does not permit the holder to work.

Before you apply for this visa, it is necessary to confirm if you need the Schengen visa to enter Spain or the Schengen area. This is because some nationals are exempt from applying for the tourist visa.

To get the visa, you must prove to the consulate that you have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Spain. You must also convince the consulate that you will leave Spain when your permit expires.

Note that if you intend to spend more nights in another country in the Schengen area other than Spain, you must apply at that country’s embassy. However, if you will be spending equal time in all the countries you intend to visit, then it is essential that you make your application to the consulate of the country through which you’d be entering the Schengen territory.

Your visa permits you to stay for a maximum of 90 days out of 180, and should you want to renew, you’d have to spend the next 90 days in a non-EU country.

Do I Need a Tourist Visa for Spain?

If you are from a visa required non-European country, you will need a Schengen visa to visit Spain.

Citizens of certain countries such Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and the US can visit Spain if they intend to stay for less than 90 days. This is because the European Union agreed with these countries to grant their citizens visa-free entry into the EU.

However, this visa-free entry only applies to the citizens of these countries and not the residents.

It is necessary to note that from November 2023, the citizens of these countries who enjoy visa-free entry into the Schengen area would need the ETIAS visa waiver to enter the Schengen area for tourism, business or transit.

The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) visa waiver process can be completed online.

Spain Tourist Visa Requirements

To get the tourist visa for Spain, you will need to provide documents that will identify you and prove you are going to Spain for legitimate purposes. You will also need to show that you are financially capable of taking care of yourself (and your dependents) while in Spain.

Financial Requirements

As part of the tourist visa requirements, you must show that you have enough money to financially support yourself (and any dependent) during your stay in the Schengen zone.

If you are staying for 10 days or less, you will need to show you have 90% of the minimum wage for 10 days which is €900. If you are staying for more than 10 days in Spain, then you have to prove you have €70.77 daily.

You typically prove this by submitting any of the following:

  • A six-month bank statement.
  • A credit card statement.
  • A letter of sponsorship if someone else will bear the cost of your trip. This letter should come with the person’s bank statement.

Additional Visa Requirements

You will need to also prove to the consulate that you will leave Spain after the duration of your stay. This is done by submitting proof of your employment situation.

If you are employed, you need to provide the following:

  • Your employment letter.
  • Your bank statement for the last 6 months.
  • Certificate of Income Tax showing that your tax is being deducted.
  • No-objection letter from your employer showing they approved your time off work and also showing that you have an obligation to return to your duty post.

If you are self-employed, you will need to show the following:

  • Your company’s bank statement in the last 6 months.
  • Your business licence.
  • Income Tax Return.

If you are a student, you will need to show the following:

  • Your admission letter.
  • No-objection or leave approval letter from your school.

If you are retired:

  • Pension statement from the bank in the last 6 months.

Our expert immigration lawyers can assist you with your Tourist Visa application.

Required Documents for Spain Tourist Visa

Here are the documents you’ll need to provide. Note that the consulate reserves the right to request additional documents to support your application:

  • A completed and duly signed visa application form. This form can be found online.
  • A passport. Your passport should have at least 2 empty pages, be less than 10 years, and be valid for at least 3 months after you leave the Schengen territory.
  • Two photographs taken within the last 3 months following the Schengen photograph specification. This should be attached to your visa application form.
  • Copies of your passport pages. You must make copies of the biodata pages of your passport and the pages with visa stamps.
  • Proof of flight reservation. This should have your name and the dates you intend to arrive and leave Spain.
  • Proof of residence in the country you are applying from. This could be your student ID, National ID, driver’s licence or voter card. Note that they should contain your current address.
  • A travel medical insurance certificate. This should cover medical costs of up to €30,000 and must be valid in all Schengen countries for the duration of your stay. Your medical insurance covers your medical bill in an instance of a health emergency.
  • Proof of hotel reservations for all the nights of your stay. The reservation should have the name, address and contact of the hotel.
  • If you are visiting a friend or family , they will have to send you a letter of invitation which you will present to the consulate. You will have to show both the original and the copy.
  • If you are travelling with your child, who is a minor and your spouse isn’t going with you, you will have to provide a notarised authorization letter showing your partner’s consent to travel with the child. You’ll need to provide this, too, if the child is not yours.
  • Birth/adoption certificate of the minor.
  • A cover letter that explains why you are travelling to Spain and how long you intend to stay.
  • Evidence of visa fee payment.

How To Apply for Spain Tourist Visa?

To apply for the tourist visa for Spain, do the following:

Download and Fill out The Application Form

Go to the website of the Spanish embassy in the country where you reside and download the visa application form. Ensure the details you fill in are correct and up-to-date. Also, make sure you sign at the end of the form.

To avoid your application being rejected, the details in the application form should tally with the details of the documents you will submit to the embassy. For example, your age and name on the application form should be the same on your ID and passport. It is not unheard of that discrepancies in personal details cause visa denial.

Schedule An Interview

When your form and documents are ready, go to the Spanish embassy website and schedule an interview. Scheduling could be done via phone call or the website.

Attend Your Interview

Take your documents with you to the embassy. There, you will meet with a consular officer who will ask you some questions regarding the purpose of your application. The officer will also be the one to review your documents.

If you are applying for a Schengen visa for the first time in 5 years, your biometrics will be captured.

Where Should I Submit My Application?

It is vital to note that you should only submit your application to the Spanish embassy if:

  • You will only stay in Spain.
  • You will tour other countries in the Schengen area but will spend the most time in Spain.
  • You will spend an equal amount of time in several countries in the Schengen territory but will enter through Spain.

Once you meet any of the conditions above, proceed to the Spanish consulate in your country to submit your application. In some countries, Spain outsources their visa application to a third party. Therefore, you should visit the third-party application centre to submit your application.

If your country does not have a Spanish consulate or a third party responsible for managing their visa applications, you will have to visit the consulate in the nearest neighbouring country.

What Are The Fees And Processing Times?

A tourist visa for Spain costs €80 if the visitor is above 12 years of age. For children within the age bracket of 6 to 12, the fee is €40. The visa is free for children younger than 6 years.

Processing Times

On average, the Spanish embassy and all other Schengen embassies process short-term visas within 15 working days. But it can take longer if the consulate is dealing with a surge of applications. When this happens, it might take 30 to 60 days to get a decision on your application.

Note that you cannot make your application more than 180 days or less than 21 before departure. It is wise to complete your application early, within the 180 days window.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i extend my tourist visa while in spain.

You can extend your tourist visa while in Spain, but this has to be under strict circumstances. These circumstances are:

  • You have a single-entry tourist visa and came into the Schengen region days after the validity of your visa started counting.
  • Your country is at war, or a pandemic has broken out, making it unsafe for you to return.
  • You are receiving medical treatment or avoiding going back to poverty.

You will have to remain in Spain when you apply for an extension. If your application is rejected, you must leave Spain in two days.

Why Was My Visa Application Rejected?

The tourist visa application can be rejected for many reasons. Some common causes are insufficient funds to finance your travel and stay in Spain, incomplete documents and inconsistent or incorrect information.

Usually, if your application is rejected, you will also be notified why. Then, you can either appeal the decision or correct what was wrong and reapply again.

Can My Visa Be Cancelled?

Your visa can be cancelled if the consulate determines that you no longer meet the requirements for which they gave you a permit in the first place.

The visa can be revoked before or after you have left for Spain. If you are in Spain when this happens, you will be issued an ultimatum to leave Spain within a time frame, after which your stay will be considered illegal.

Spain in 'crisis' after tourist numbers plummet due to 'overcrowded' hotspots

Spain's tourism industry is in "crisis" after a huge drop in the number of tourists visiting the country, with locals turning back to overseas holidays and prices on the rise

Spain is grappling with a "crisis" as tourist figures plummet, attributed to "overcrowded" hotspots that are deterring visitors.

The country experienced a surge in local tourism amid the pandemic, but with restrictions lifted, Spaniards are increasingly opting for jaunts aboard.

Official statistics reveal a decline in domestic tourism, with the numbers dropping from 41.37 million from January to July in 2023 to just 40.98 million in the same months of 2024, as reported by El Pais.

READ MORE - Simple trick to stop mould from growing in your home as autumn approaches

According to the Spanish publication, the trend away from home-grown holidays is linked to fading memories of the Covid-19 crisis and the appeal of overseas travel.

But rising costs are also a factor, with the demand from international tourists driving prices up, making Spain less appealing to its own people, reports the Express .

El Pais details a steep 18 percent increase in dining costs this year, surpassing last year's 13 percent hike.

Accommodation hasn't fared much better its costs have skyrocketed by 52 percent this year, in stark contrast to the 45 percent rise seen in 2023.

To top it off, frequent scorching heat waves are influencing holiday preferences, propelling Spaniards towards the milder regions of northern Spain, forsaking traditional favourites like Catalonia, the Canary Islands, and Andalucia.

Meanwhile, international tourism in Spain continues to thrive, with 47.67 million foreign visitors recorded in the first seven months of 2023, compared to 53.38 million during the same period in 2024.

Indeed, 2023 was a banner year for Spanish tourism, attracting 85.17 million foreign and 72.43 million domestic tourists. The data indicates that 2024 is on track to set a new record for foreign tourist visits.

Speaker 2: I studied Mathematics at university and...

Speaker 1: Have you ever been refused a visa to any other country?

Speaker 3: Video Reconstruction is intended to give you an idea of what you could be asked in a credibility interview.

Speaker 1: Good morning. The purpose of this interview is to ask you a few questions about your proposed study in the UK. A decision is not being made about your visa application and a record of this interview will be kept on file if you need to appeal the outcome of your visa application. If I could start with some standard questions about your identity, please. What's your name and date of birth?

Speaker 2: Yes, my name is Zhang Zixin and my date of birth is the 2nd of September, 1992.

Speaker 1: Where will you be studying and what's the course start date, please?

Speaker 1: What course are you doing?

Speaker 2: I'm doing a Diploma Programme in Business Management.

Speaker 1: And why did you choose to do this course?

Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I want to get a good job and doing a Diploma Programme will get me into the second year of a degree study in the university and the degree will give me the skills and expertise to become a consultant or a businesswoman in the future.

Speaker 1: Why did you choose this particular institution?

Speaker 2: Well, I did some research and I found out that Manchester has a very good reputation and I want to study with one of their partner universities for my Business Management degree. The institution is right in the middle of the city, so the location is very good for me. And I also heard the staff, they are really, really friendly and helpful.

Speaker 1: Did you have any particular reason for choosing the UK?

Speaker 2: Yes, I've been interested in British culture. I want to study in the UK for a long time. I'm planning to visit a couple of places in the UK as well. And the UK is very good and has a very high and strong reputation in higher education and in some specialised areas, it's better than the rest of the world.

Speaker 3: The interview will end at this point if the applicant appears obviously credible by answering fluently, with no serious language problems and no other causes for concern. If the interviewer decides to continue with extra questions before being satisfied of the credibility of answers, then the interviewee could additionally be asked some but not all of the following questions.

Speaker 1: Where will you be living during your studies?

Speaker 2: I will be living in the accommodation at Into Manchester.

Speaker 1: How does your proposed course of study link to your previous studies?

Speaker 2: I studied mathematics at university and I'm really good at mathematics. That's why I want to do a business management degree to further develop my mathematics study and become a consultant in the future.

Speaker 1: Do you have any plans to travel while you are studying in the UK?

Speaker 2: Yes, I'm planning to travel a few places in the UK and I heard Bath is a very nice place to go.

Speaker 1: How did you find out about your institution before applying?

Speaker 2: I've spoken with my parents and friends and they all recommend me Into Manchester because it's very good quality of teaching and good facility as well in general.

Speaker 1: Do you have any relatives who have studied or are studying overseas? Can you tell me where and what they're doing?

Speaker 2: Yes, my cousin is currently doing a bachelor degree at Bath University. His major is business and management as well.

Speaker 1: Please specify exactly what you intend to do when you finish your studies in the UK.

Speaker 2: After finishing my studies in the UK, I'm planning to apply for jobs in the consultancy sector and hopefully I will be able to work for a famous consultancy in the world.

Speaker 2: No, this is my first time outside my home country.

Speaker 1: What do you know about Manchester?

Speaker 2: I did some research online and I found out Manchester is a very international city. It's one of the biggest cities in the north of the UK. They have a very famous football club, Manchester United. I'm a big fan of them as well. People are more friendly than in the south.

Speaker 2: Yes, after speaking with my parents and friends, they recommended me a very professional agent in Shanghai. I went to Shanghai to visit this agent and received very big help from them for preparing my study plan and also application into Manchester.

Speaker 1: That is the end of the interview. I have no further questions. Thank you for watching this video. If you like it, please subscribe to my channel. See you in the next video.
