1 What are the conditions for applying for a Spanish visa?

As we all know, Spain belongs to the Schengen countries, which means that if you have a Spanish visa, you can travel to all Schengen countries unimpeded, such as France, Italy, Germany, and Nordic countries, blah blah? So, here comes the question, so There are many Schengen countries, how do I know whether I should go to the Spanish consulate to sign for this trip?

There are two principles for determining the territory of a visa:

a. Country of entry. That is to say, if your country of entry this time is Spain, then even if you travel to all Schengen countries in the future, you can still apply for a Spanish visa.

b. The country with the longest travel time. If the country of entry is not in Spain, but you will be in Spain for 15 days during the entire 20-day trip, you can still sign a Spanish visa.

2 How long can I apply for a Spanish visa?

The regulations indicate that the stay cannot exceed 3 months (90 days) within 6 months (180 days) from the date of entry into the Schengen country. In other words, even if the longest Schengen visa is approved, the longest stay can only be 90 days!

3 Can I ask someone to sign the Schengen visa on my behalf?

Since October 12, 2015, all applicants for Schengen visa must go to the Spanish Visa Application Center in person to submit the application and collect biometric data. The data will be stored in the Visa Information System (VIS) for the next 59 months, and applicants applying for a Schengen visa again during this period will not need to submit biometric data again. Applicants applying for a Schengen visa again after five years will need to provide their biometric data again.

Special exemptions from fingerprint recording are as follows:

a. Children under 12 years old.

b. Applicants whose physical condition does not allow fingerprints to be entered (applicants with partially mutilated fingers must enter fingerprints that can be collected).

If the above two conditions are met, the Beijing and Guangzhou consular districts can entrust a third party to collect the information on their behalf. The Shanghai consular district still requires individuals to submit the information.

OK? Once you are sure that it is correct to apply for a Spanish visa for this European trip, you can start making preparations!
