Spain Tourist Visa 🇪🇸

If you are planning to visit Spain and you're not a national citizen from a European country, you will need to obtain a visa prior to entry. The specific type of visa you will need depends on the purpose of your visit, with each category granting permission to stay in Spain for a defined period. For instance, a tourist visa generally allows a stay of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Our agency offers comprehensive assistance to help you obtain your visa smoothly and without hassle.

Spain Visa Fee

The Schengen visa is free for children under 6 years old, costs €45 (around THB 1800) for children up to 11 years old and costs €90 (around THB 3,600) for adults. The fee is fixed in Euro but is payable in Thai baht only. Therefore the application fee may vary depending on the current exchange rate between the two currencies. The visa fee shall be waived if the applicant belongs to a specific category. For example, the spouse of a Spain citizen will have their visa fee waived.
