Visas & Customs Requirements

General Requirements:

Getting a Spanish visa is a tedious and necessary process if you want to remain in Spain for more than 90 days. You must either fill out or provide each required document and make 2 to 3 copies of each, depending on the application rules. In addition you must apply in person at your nearest consulate. Be sure to ask your consular any questions, if you are turned down the first time, to prevent any additional trips to the consulate.

Instructions:

1. Apply for a passport, if you do not have one already. Your passport should have at least 6 months of life left. Make 3 photocopies of the personal information and photo page.
2. Fill out a visa application. The application can be found at the Spanish Embassy website below.
3. Have 4 new passport pictures taken. Clip 1 picture to the front of the application.
4. Provide your original marriage certificate, if you are married.
5. Go to your local police station and ask for a good conduct certificate. If you have moved around more than once in the last 6 months, certificates should be acquired from each city. Take the original certificate and a Spanish translation.
6. Schedule an appointment with your doctor and have him verify you are healthy and free from specific quarantine diseases. You may have to go in twice. Once to get tested for diseases, and a second time to collect the actual certificate. The quarantine diseases are: yellow fever, cholera, and plague. Your doctor must also verify that you are drug free and have no mental illnesses. The certificate should be typed on your doctor's stationary and include both the original and Spanish translation.
7. Include proof of medical insurance with your application packet.
8. Make 2 photocopies of each document, except for the passport personal information page, which requires 3 copies.
9. Provide a self addressed stamped manila envelope. Take the envelope to the post office and have it weighed with all the documents inside. This will be used to return your documents. Your visa will be placed inside your passport.
10. Get a money order for $92.40. The consulate does not accept personal checks or cash.
