Spain

Visas are required by S.A. passport holders

Spain is a member of the Schengen Agreement.

• If you intend to visit only Spain, you must apply at the Embassy of Spain/ Visa Application Centre.
• If you intend to visit several Schengen countries, you must apply for a visa at the Embassy or Consulate that is your main destination / longest stay.
• If you intend to visit several countries but are spending an equal number of days in each, you should apply for a visa at the Embassy or Consulate of the country of your first point of entry.

See General Schengen Visa Requirements
