Spain Tourist Visa
The Schengen Visa allows tourists from around the world to go to Spain. As Spain is in the Schengen Area , it shares a common border policy with other countries. This means that tourist visas are not issued for individual countries such as Spain but for the entire region.
What is the Spain Tourist Visa?
As a specific tourist visa for Spain does not exist, tourists need a Schengen Visa to enter Spain for tourism . The Schengen Visa allows visitors to spend up to 90 days in Spain as well as the other participating Schengen countries.
To apply for a Schengen Visa , you need to visit a Spanish embassy or consulate in your home country. All embassies and consulates of all the Schengen countries accept visa applications, but you have to apply at a diplomatic office of the main destination you plan to visit.
Who needs a Spain Tourist Visa?
All nationalities who are not eligible for visa-free entry into Spain need a tourist visa to enter the country. At the moment there are numerous countries that enjoy visa-free access for periods of up to 90 days (ETIAS will be required to enter from 2025).
The following countries are eligible to enter Spain (and the other Schengen countries) for up to 90 days in any 180-day period :
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Bosnia and Herz.
- El Salvador
- Marshall Islands
- New Zealand
- North Macedonia
- Saint Kitts and Nevis
- Saint Lucia
- S.V. and Grenadines
- Solmon Islands
- South Korea
- Timor Leste
- Trinidad and Tobago
- United Arab Emirates
- United States
- Vatican City
- UK nationals who are not EU citizens
ETIAS Visa Waiver
The nationalities which can currently enter the Schengen Area visa-free will need to obtain an ETIAS Authorisation from 2025. It will be similar to the US ESTA Visa and is a visa waiver, not a visa . The online application form will be simple and only take a few minutes to complete.
ETIAS Travel Authorisation will be valid for 3-year periods and allow travellers to enter all countries in the Schengen Area and countries in the process of joining the Schengen Area, such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Romania . Travellers will be able to enter the region multiple times as long as the total number of days spent in the zone does not exceed 90 days (in any 180-day period).
Types of Schengen Visas
In addition to the Schengen Tourist Visas , there are other types of Schengen Visas that allow visitors to enter for a range of purposes including for transit and for business.
Airport Transit Visa (Type A)
The vast majority of passengers do not need an Airport Transit Schengen Visa . The visas allow travellers to change flights at an airport in the Schengen Area as long as they do not leave the designated transit area. Visitors cannot leave the international transit area with a Schengen Transit Visa .
‘Type A’ Transit Visas only permit one airport transfer , if someone needs to transit through two or more airports it is necessary to obtain a regular Schengen Visa (Type C) . Only citizens of the following countries need a Transit Visa to transfer at an airport in the Schengen Area:
- Afghanistan
Business Visa
A Schengen Business Visa is a special type of visa for travelling to the Schengen Area for business purposes. Like the tourist visa, it allows visitors to spend up to 90 days (of any 180-day period) in the Schengen zone. Applicants need to go to an embassy or consulate of the country where they wish to conduct business to apply for the business visa .
Every business person from a country which does not have a visa facilitation agreement with the EU needs a Business Visa for the Schengen Area to travel to the zone to conduct business. This includes meeting clients and partners, as well as attending business fairs.
How to get a Tourist Visa to visit Spain
To apply for a Tourist Visa to visit Spain , it is necessary to go to a Spanish embassy or consulate. As there are no individual tourist visas for Schengen countries, visitors need to obtain a Schengen Tourist Visa instead.
To successfully apply, applicants must submit a range of documentation which includes: the visa application form, two recent passport photos, valid passport , travel itinerary, health insurance, proof of accommodation, proof of financial means, and either proof of employment or an income tax return.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the most common questions about Schengen Visas and the online application process.
Will having a criminal record affect the ETIAS application?
There will be a section on the ETIAS application form about the applicant’s background. It will be essential to answer honestly as the information will be verified.
Having a criminal record could potentially affect an ETIAS application though it depends on the seriousness of the crime and when and where it was committed. Minor offences are unlikely to affect applications.
How much will it cost to apply for ETIAS?
To submit the ETIAS application , there will be an obligatory fee which will be payable by credit or debit card.
Once the payment has been made and the application has been approved, the ETIAS authorisation will be granted .
Differences between ETIAS and ESTA
ETIAS will be similar to ESTA but they will be valid for different countries . ETIAS will permit entry into the Schengen Area, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania, whereas ESTA is for the USA.
The application processes will be effectively the same. Like ESTA, applicants will need to complete an online application and pay a fee. The information provided will be screened against security databases before the visa is approved.
When will ETIAS be implemented?
ETIAS will launch in 2025 . Once implemented, it will be obligatory for visitors from eligible countries to obtain an ETIAS Visa Waiver before travelling to Europe.

National visas
Third-country nationals require a national visa when they are going to stay in Spain for more than 90 days (in any 180-day period) for the purposes of work, study or establishing their residence. They also need a national visa when moving to Spain to work for a period of under 90 days.
Citizens of the European Union or of the States of the European Economic Area or Switzerland do not need a visa to establish their residence in Spain or for long-term studies or to work. However, once in Spain, they must be entered on the Register for Citizens of the Union. Family members accompanying them, and who benefit from the right to free movement, must apply for a residence permit in Spain. If they need a stay visa because of their nationality, they must obtain a visa for family members of a citizen of the Union (see section " Visas for family members of a citizen of the Union ").
The national visa allows the holder to travel to Spain and to transit through and move around the territory of any Schengen State for a maximum of 90 days. However, it does not automatically entitle them to enter the Schengen area. The border authorities can refuse entry if not all entry requirements are met (See section "Conditions for entry into Spain").
