Spain
Officially known as the Kingdom of Spain, Spain is located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. Here are the required documents for applying for a Spanish visa, including for employees, company owners, retirees, farmers, students, and minors. Our expert team is just a phone call away for assistance.
Important Warning for Spanish Visa Applicants: For all Schengen countries, visas cannot be issued to passports with an issuance date older than 10 years.
