Spain is a Member-State of the European Union and has
signed the Schengen Agreement. While traveling within the E.U., you only
need your Identity card. However, a passport is necessary for a number of
other transactions, such as currency exchange, purchases, etc.
Visas are not required by European citizens from countries that are part of
the Schengen Area. Spain as a member of the Schengen Agreement, has
abolished controls on common internal lands, at air and sea borders and
allows Member-State citizens to travel around without a visa for a short
stay period of up to three (3) months. However, keep in mind that airlines
and other carriers require a valid passport and/or identity card.
Citizens coming from countries that have not yet joined Schengen Area may
require a visa to enter Spain. The E.U. visitors from these countries can
acquire further information from the Hellenic Embassies or Consulates in
their countries, or from their travel agencies. Before visiting Spain,
please consult the detailed information on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs'
website and find out whether you require a Visa.
Kindly reminder: During your stay in Spain, if you require a Visa, you are
advised to have suitable insurance coverage for emergency medical or other
needs.
