Spain is a Schengen country, and visa-free travel is permitted for citizens of 42 countries and Kosovo. Generally, obtaining a Spanish visa is straightforward and can be done in just a few steps.

To apply for a Spanish visa, applicants must first obtain an online application form from the Spanish consulate or embassy in their home country. This form must be filled out completely and accurately, including providing all required documentation and paying the application fee. Once the application has been filed, the applicant will receive notification within two weeks indicating whether their application has been accepted. If it has been accepted, the next step is to provide additional documentation, such as a passport photo and copies of any relevant visas or residence permits. If all requirements have been met, applicants must schedule an appointment at the nearest Spanish immigration office to pick up their visa packet.
