Sticker Visa

  • Spain issues a sticker visa, which is physically affixed in the passport after approval by the Spanish Embassy/Consulate. It is part of the Schengen visa system, allowing travel to Spain and other Schengen countries for short stays.
  • The Spain sticker visa is generally issued for tourism, business visits, family visits, conferences, cultural events, and short-term travel purposes. Applicants must apply in advance through the visa application center by submitting documents, booking an appointment, and providing biometrics.
  • The visa usually permits stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period, depending on the visa category granted. The number of entries (single or multiple) and validity are decided by Spanish authorities based on the applicant’s profile and travel history.
  • Even after visa approval, final entry into Spain or any Schengen country is subject to immigration clearance at the port of entry.
