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.

Do you need a visa to visit Spain?

Jul 7, 2023 • 4 min read

spain visit visa uk

Don't let visa confusion stand in the way of your Spain vacation © Flashpop / Getty Images

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.

What documents do I need to apply for a Spain Schengen Visa?

Are you planning a trip to Spain? Spain is a member of Europe’s Schengen zone, which has its own rules for visa requirements for travellers. There are several things to keep in mind when travelling to the zone from the UK. We’ll cover all of the details necessary to obtain a Spain Schengen visa in the UK. 

spain visit visa uk

Why should you visit Spain?

Whether you want to trek through scenic Sierra Nevada mountains or sun bathe on the beaches of the Gran Canary Islands, Spain has everything from historical sites, natural wonders, and vacation pleasures for everyone. 

Did you know that Spain is the second-most visited country in Europe? It attracts more than 80 million tourists every year with approximately 20 million visitors travelling from the UK.

Because Spain is a primary Europe destination, getting a Spanish Schengen visa can be tricky and the consulate is not in a hurry to grant visas for long periods. Additionally, Spain has a refusal rate of 9.3%, which takes it into the league of one of the hardest Schengen Visas to obtain.

But don't let that put you off, with the right advice and the correct documentation, getting a Schengen visa for Spain should be a breeze. You will love the sights, tourism and the inspiration from Gaudi's Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to the Balearic islands, Seville Valencia and the birthplace of Picasso; Malaga, Spain has something for everyone.

The UK is Spain’s leading market for tourism. Although just a short flight from the UK, you’ll be surprised at the vast difference in culture – the food, music, even language difference. And in case you think the London Underground is confusing, try to navigate the Madrid metro, one of the largest in the world!

What is the Schengen Zone?

Travelling in Europe requires you to pay close attention to details of what country you’re going to and from where you’re travelling. Europe contains many zones, with some countries included in more than one. Be sure to understand the countries included within the Schengen zone before arriving because you may need a separate visa for your trip.

The Schengen zone was established in 1995 as a political zone in Europe, much like the EU and the UK have their own zones. There are 26 total countries included in the zone with a few other pending their acceptance.

The Schengen zone is a unique collection of European countries allowing people to travel freely across their borders once they’re in the zone.

Spain is a member of the Schengen zone. Visitors travelling to Spain from the UK must have a valid Schengen visa for their trip.

The good news about travelling to the Schengen zone is that it requires only one entry, and a valid visa allows you to cross borders to other included countries with the same credentials.

The current Schengen States are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Having a Schengen visa allows you to travel to all 26 states and other countries that accept Schengen visas.

The downside is that your stay allowance in the Schengen zone applies to all of the countries – there are tools available to determine how many days you will be staying within the zone before you must travel outside of it, such as to the UK or elsewhere abroad.

Who needs a Schengen Visa?

Citizens of Schengen countries are the only people not required to have a visa to travel between countries in the zone. For example, someone living in Spain who wishes to travel to France, another Schengen country, can go without applying for a visa. Anyone outside of the zone, however, will need an appropriate visa based on their travel purpose within the zone.

The Schengen zone excludes the UK, so travellers arriving from the United Kingdom must have a valid visa for their trip. The UK is diverse and can include UK citizens, settled migrants and overseas nationals passing through the UK, who each have particular visa requirements when travelling to Spain.

Depending on your trip type, visitors to Spain with a valid UK passport may or may not have to apply for a visa before travelling to Spain. The general rule is that if you hold a full UK passport or a BOTC (British Overseas Territories Citizen), BOC (British Overseas Citizen), BPP (British Protected Person) or BS (British Subject) passport, you can travel freely to Spain

UK nationals, travellers with a British passport, only have to apply before arrivals if travelling for a long term stay. Since Brexit and the UK has leaving the EU, the European Countries have confirmed that British Citizens will still be able to travel to Spain, visa-free, until at least 31st December 2020.

Many other nationals, resident and living in the UK will need a visa prior to arrival for short term and long term stays. Check out our Spain Schengen Visa Eligibility Checker to find out if you need a Schengen visa to Spain

If you are on a visitor's visa in the UK, you are not considered resident. Therefore, if you want a Spain Schengen visa UK, we will need to apply through a different Consulate in the UK or you will need to apply from your country of residency or Nationality.

If you have less than three months left on your visa, you will need to renew it or provide onward travel tickets to get a Spanish Schengen Visa in the UK. Contact our UK Immigration advisors to help you renew your visa.

Types of Spain Schengen Visa UK

Spain Schengen visas from the UK have two categories: short-term and long-term stays.

Short Term Stays in Spain

A short term stay in Spain includes trips lasting less than 90 in 180 days in the country. Keep in mind that the 90-day limit consists of an aggregate of time spent within all of the Schengen Zone countries. 

UK citizens can have 90-days every 180 days, with the option of dividing the time between different trips to Spain and/or other Schengen countries. 

Travellers with a valid UK passport will receive a tourist visa upon arrival to Spain at the airport. The tourist visa is the most straightforward Schengen visa to get for UK travellers as it does not require any prior submissions or application processes. 

If Spain is your entry point into the Schengen zone, your visa stamp grants you the 90-days within the zone, with which you can travel freely to the other countries without any additional stamps included within your time allowance.

Many immigrants have a UK residency, but not citizenship, and therefore would be using a foreign passport when travelling from the UK to Spain. Their process is a bit different.

Travelling from the UK to Spain with a foreign passport

If you don't have a British passport or are not a family member of an EU citizen, you must apply for a Schengen visa from the UK, even if travelling for a short-term tourist stay. To apply for a Schengen visa in the UK , a valid UK residency is required. Read below for details on applying for the visa from the UK.

Please note that once you receive a tourist visa, the 90-day limit still applies for travelling to Spain and other Schengen zone countries.

In case you're not sure if you need a Spain Schengen Visa, use our eligibility check and input information about your country of origin and if you're a permanent resident in the UK.

If you are eligible to apply for a Spain Schengen visa UK, you will need to submit your application to the Spain embassy, consulate office or Visa Application Centre (VAC).

If you will be travelling to more than one country in the Schengen zone, you must apply to the correct country's embassy. You will apply at the Spain embassy or consulate office if:

  • Spain is the first country you will be entering
  • If you will spend the longest time in Spain for your time in the Schengen zone

Long Term stays in Spain

While Schengen tourist visas are the most common for UK travellers, there are many other travel purposes for visiting Spain from the UK. If you have travel plans other than general tourism, you’ll need to apply for the appropriate visa in support of the trip.

The most common long-term visas for visiting Spain include work visas and student visas. Other miscellaneous visas may also be applicable for more specific travel purposes. 

1. Spain Work Visas

Business travel is common around Europe, but if you’re planning to stay in Spain for an extended time for work-related matters, UK citizens must have a valid Schengen work visa. Business purposes lasting less than 90-days fall under the short term stay category. Still, other business travel purposes require you to submit an application and other details about the reason for the trip.

Work visa allows people in the UK to work actively, whether for a Spanish company, or international company based in Spain for the set amount of time.

There are multiple forms of work visas you can be issued. People who require several trips back-and-forth between the UK and Spain can receive double-entry or multiple entries.

2. Spain Student Visa

The other common form of long-term visa for travelling to Spain from the UK is a student visa. It’s common to arrive in Spain for educational purposes such as study abroad programs or enrollment in one of the local universities in the country. As most programs last longer than 90-days, it’s best to have a student visa, which also permits you to be accepted into most of the local programs.

Applying for a student visa from the UK also requires going through the application process to receive proper credentials before your trip.

3. Miscellaneous Visas

Not all travel types fall within the tourist, work, or student visa categories, although they may require longer stays. Some of the travel purposes may include visiting relatives, medical reasons, and more. 

In case you’re unsure about which visa is most suitable for your trip, consult with the Spain Schengen Visa UK eligibility checker or the Spanish embassy about getting a Schengen visa to coincide with your travel plans to ensure that you will be able to remain in the zone and carry out your activities without any issue.

Extending your visa

Applying for the correct visa in your initial application stage is the easiest way to ensure that you have enough time within the zone to carry out your travel purposes. You’ll easily have access to the UK embassies or consulates for handling all of your visa-related activities.

There are some cases, however, where you may need to extend your visa for more time allowance within the Schengen zone. It’s possible to extend your Schengen visa while currently in Spain. To do so, you must visit the nearest immigration office in Spain it's in the corresponding Foreigners Offices and Police Stations.

There is an application process similar to the original method of obtaining a visa (which we’ll discuss below), but it’s essential to have a compelling reason for extending a visa. Some of the best causes for getting an extended visa while in the Schengen zone are:

  • Late entry or arrival to the Schengen zone
  • Humanitarian or medical reasons
  • Home country conflict
  • Personal reasons – important to provide thorough details

It’s essential to apply for a visa extension long before your original visa expires. There is still a processing time to receive a visa, and your reasoning will be a lot more valid as you show a prior expectation of plausible reasoning.

Preparation before applying for your Spain Schengen visa can save you lots of time (and money) in the process. Gather the following materials before submitting your application to give yourself the best chance at getting the visa in time for your trip to Spain:

  • Valid Passport
  • Travel Itinerary
  • Proof of onward travel
  • Proof of sufficient funds
  • Travel insurance
  • Letter of Welcome/Employment/Enrollment
  • Proof of Residence
  • Birth Certificate
  • Schengen Visa Application Form

1. Valid Passport

While UK citizens can receive a Schengen visa upon arrival in Spain, many immigrants are living in the UK who still have their foreign passports for travel. In either case, your passport must be valid – following the appropriate passport guidelines for travelling internationally.

Some of the things to keep in mind regarding your passport include:

  • An unexpired passport or passport not expiring within a few months of your RETURN date
  • At least two blank pages – one for your Schengen visa stamp and a remaining blank page
  • Photocopy of your passport
  • Well preserved passport book (general aesthetic of the physical book)

*You must include two recent passport photos taken within the last three months, sized 35 mm x 45 mm. The photos must be identical.

2. Travel Itinerary

You must submit your travel itinerary detailing your plans while abroad in Spain. Since there are various Schengen visas you can apply for, the travel itinerary confirms that you’re applying for the correct visa, and validates your justification for needing a visa.

Your travel itinerary must include information such as plane tickets, hotel booking confirmation, car rentals (if applicable), and pre-purchased activities. 

Not all travel itineraries would include the same information, but be sure to provide enough details about your trip to ensure that your visa gets granted.

3. Proof of onward travel

A way to regulate immigration to the Schengen zone is by ensuring that visitors arriving in Spain will eventually return home or travel elsewhere outside of the zone after their permitted time in the zone expires.

Proof of onward travel is vital to submit when applying for your Spain Schengen visa. Some of the ways to demonstrate future travel is having a round-trip ticket, booking a ferry trip, or other reservations made in other regions.

Keep in mind that people who receive a Schengen visa can travel to either one of the 26 included countries with the same visa. Your proof on onward travel must show evidence of leaving the zone entirely, and not just travelling to another country as that country may also be included within the zone.

TOP TIP: If your current residence document (visa) expires in less than three months, you can provide a travel ticket to the country of your nationality without having to worry about having a current visa that is valid for more than three months.

4. Proof of sufficient funds

Before you receive a Schengen visa, you must show proof that you are financially stable to travel within the zone. Proof of sufficient funds are required to show that you won’t run out of money and have to stay within the zone due to the inability to travel.

A couple of documents to consider for proof of funds are:

  • Bank statements
  • Recent payslips

As a general rule, you must have funds sufficient for 50 Euros per day during your time in the zone with Spain requiring a minimum of £724 per person or €50 per day, whichever is higher.

Update: It's now advised to have £90 per day with a minimum of £860 per person, irrespective of your intended stay duration.

5. Travel insurance

Travel insurance is helpful, regardless of where you will be travelling. Travel insurance is mandatory, however, when applying for your Spain Schengen visa. Travel insurance can cover details such as flight, hotel, personal belongings, and health.

Travel insurance shows that you are prepared for unexpected incidents that may arise while travelling.

6. Letter of Welcome/Employment/Enrollment

If you’re applying for a Schengen work, student, or miscellaneous visa, you must provide an official letter of welcome from your organization. The letter can be from your employer or company, for work visas, or a letter from the university for student visas.

The important thing to note is that the letter comes from a local Spanish organization. The letter provides evidence of an invitation to visit the country and why they are requesting you be approved to get the visa. It also serves to confirm your identity to validate the travel purposes and visa you’re applying for.

7. Proof of Residence

Whether you’re travelling with a UK passport or a foreign passport, you must be able to show proof of residence. Travellers who have a UK passport will already have their permanent address on their passport. Foreign passport users applying from the UK will need to submit proof of residency of at least three months living in the UK before travelling.

The permanent address indicates that you have a place to return to and do not plan to stay within the Schengen zone past your allotted time.

8. Birth Certificate

Travelers from the UK under the age of 18 must submit a birth certificate signed by the parents. The birth certificate is a way to confirm your nationality and proof of residence within the UK.

9. Schengen Visa Application Form

Download the online Schengen Visa application form and complete before arriving at your appointment. You can also apply online with IaM .

Spain Schengen Visa UK Application Form

If you are married, there are a few additional documents to bring for verification of your spouse:

  • Original and photocopy of the Libro de Familia (with the marriage registered), applicable to family members of Spanish nationals.
  • Original and photocopy of the marriage certificate and an official translation (Spanish or English).
  • Partnership certificate / accreditation of marital coexistence for one year / proof of joint parenthood.
  • Proof of joint travel to Spain (i.e. confirmed tickets to travel to Spain both for the applicant and the EU/EEA national), or of the intention to join the EU/EEA national who already is in Spain.

Spain Schengen Visa Process in the UK

To expedite the process of obtaining a Spain Schengen visa, it’s recommended to have all of the documents mentioned above before beginning your visa application.

Keep in mind that travelers with a British passport or members of British territories will not need to apply for a Schengen visa if travelling for a short-term stay. Visitors will receive a visa upon arrival in Spain, which is valid if travelling to other countries within the zone during the same trip.

Non-British travelers with a valid UK visa and residency in the UK can apply for a Spain Schengen visa in the UK. All other foreign travelers must apply within their home country.

You must apply directly with the Spain embassy, Spain consulate office in the UK, a VAC or IaM . The process involves completing a visa application which includes the following information:

  • Personal information – name, birthdate, nationality
  • Career status – current employment status, details about financial capability during travel
  • Other members – who you will be travelling with, if you have plans to visit someone
  • Travel purpose – why you need a Schengen visa, official organization letters, travel itinerary

There are 37 total questions on the visa application form that must be answered truthfully. You can download and submit an online application to the embassy or consulate office, or opt to mail in the completed form along with any supplemental materials.

It’s advised to apply for your visa approximately 15 – 20 working days before your travel date. Under normal circumstances, your visa will be granted within 2-3 weeks.

For extreme medical reasons, the Spanish Consulate have the ability to grant a visa within a day. But you will need proof of that medical emergency.

For special travel cases, you may be required to schedule an appointment with the embassy and come in for an interview if further questioning is necessary. In these situations, the visa process can take up to a month or longer.

It’s best to permit yourself enough time to get your visa as not to delay your trip to Spain. Our Spain Schengen Visa UK team have the opportunity to apply under the premium service that gets your application and appointment considered in record time. This is an added service.
