Visa Information

Spain (Barcelona) Visa Basics

1. Visa Requirement
Spain is part of the Schengen Area. Travelers from visa-required countries must obtain a Schengen Visa (Type C) before travel. A visa does not guarantee entry, as the final decision is made by Spanish border authorities.

2. Passport Validity
Your passport must be issued within the last 10 years and remain valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area.

3. Length of Stay
A Schengen Visa allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism, business, or conferences.

Visa Exemptions

Citizens of many countries, including EU/EEA nations, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, can visit Spain visa-free for up to 90 days.
