Frequently Asked Questions

Do Indians need a visa for Spain?

What are Spain visa requirements for Indians?
Here are the Spain tourist visa requirements for Indians:

  • Valid passport: A passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area. It must have been issued within the last 10 years and contain at least two blank pages.
  • Visa application form: Completed, error-free and signed- Spain visa application form. 
  • Photograph: One recent passport-sized photograph that meets Spain's specific visa photo requirements (e.g., white background, no older than 6 months).
  • Proof of residence: The Permanent Account Number (PAN) must be presented.  
  • Proof of travel purpose: A clear and concise cover letter outlining your personal information, purpose of visit, financial means and intent to return. 
  • Proof of financial means: The Spanish government needs proof of your capability to fund your stay. To demonstrate the same, provide bank account statements for the last six months and ITR acknowledgement for the last two years. 
  • Proof of travel: Provide proof of roundtrip tickets and proof of intra-Schengen flight reservation, train itinerary or car rental if you are travelling to several Schengen States. 
  • Proof of accommodation: Submit the proof of accommodation for your entire stay in Spain. If invited, submit an invitation letter signed by the inviting person and duly notarised in Spain.
  • Travel insurance: You must have travel insurance that is valid for all Schengen Countries. It should cover at least €30,000 or equivalent for all risks for the entire duration of the trip. 
  • Proof of employment: This can be an employment contract, leave approval letter from the employer or certificate of employment. 
Note: Depending on the specific circumstances mentioned in the visa application, additional documents will be required. For example, you will need a sponsorship letter if your trip is sponsored. 
Can I travel to other Schengen Countries with a Spanish tourist visa?
  • Yes, a Spanish visa allows you to travel freely to other Schengen countries without needing additional visas. However, when applying, you should clearly state your intention to visit multiple Schengen Countries and provide a detailed itinerary covering your entire trip.
  • Tip: Make sure your first point of entry is Spain or that Spain is your main destination, as this will align with the requirements of the Spanish embassy where you are applying for the visa.
  • The Schengen Area comprises the following 29 European countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. 
Can I travel to Spain on a Schengen visa issued by Germany?
Yes, you can enter and travel to Spain with a Schengen visa issued by Germany. However, ideally, you must keep these two rules in mind:

  • Entry point: You are advised to enter through the country that issued your visa. In this case, Germany should be your primary entry point into the Schengen Area. After that, you can travel to Spain or other Schengen countries. 
  • Main destination for stay: You should spend the majority of your time in Germany, as you are required to apply for a visa from the country where you will spend the most time.

Can I apply for a Spanish visa without a confirmed flight booking?
Yes, you can apply for a Schengen visa without a confirmed flight booking. However, you will need to provide a flight itinerary or reservation as proof of your intended travel dates. 
Can I apply for a Spanish visa if my accommodation is not confirmed?

Yes, you can apply for a Spain Schengen visa without confirmed accommodation, but you still need to show proof of where you plan to stay. This can include temporary hotel bookings or an invitation letter from friends or family who will be hosting you.

The consulate requires this to ensure that you have arrangements in place for your stay. Even if your plans are not finalized, providing a reservation or written confirmation of your accommodation will satisfy this requirement during the visa application process.

  • It should cover the entire period of the person’s intended stay or transit in the Schengen Area.
  • The travel insurance should cover any expenses that might arise in connection with repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention, emergency hospital treatment, or death during the stay(s) on the territory of the Member States.
