Spain is a beautiful holiday destination and business center that attracts millions of people every year. Whether your area of interests lies in ancient history, natural landscapes or a gourmet experience, Spain has something to offer to everyone. All those who wish to visit Spain for short stays can apply for a Spain Visa.
Spain is a part of the Schengen Agreement. Under this agreement, 26 European countries allow travelers to move freely within the designated Schengen Area without a visa to enter each individual Schengen country.
A Schengen visa is issued to those who want to travel for leisure, work, business, education, or to visit a relative or friend residing in the Schengen region. It is issued for a period of 3 months within a six-month period. The entry type will be decided on the basis of the visa type and duration of stay. If you get a multiple-entry Schengen visa, you will be allowed to exit and re-enter the Schengen Area for multiple times within a 180-day period. However, the total number of days you spend in the designated area cannot exceed 90 days. Processing of the Spain visa can take up to 15 working days. This includes the submission day, weekends and bank holidays.
