How to apply for Spain tourist visa

I. Visa Information:

1. Spain belongs to the Schengen countries and can apply for a European Schengen visa. Holders of a Schengen visa (if not otherwise indicated on the visa) can travel to all Schengen countries: Belgium, Denmark, Germany,

Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Spain. This visa cannot be used for work.

There is no right to demand that a business visa must be issued. A visa is not a guarantee of entry into the Schengen area and the decision to enter is ultimately made by the border authorities at the border.

2. All visas from the Spanish Embassy require an email appointment for an interview in advance and must be submitted and collected in person. The appointment email should include the following information: name, passport number, purpose of travel, and estimated time of departure (no additional application materials are required). It is recommended to make an appointment at least one month before departure.

二、申请西班牙签证所需材料:

1)机票预订单(打印件,英文):我在法航的官方网站上预定了机票,选择pending payment,没有付款,将订单打印出来,就可以了。 This one is just for visa, in the future you can confirm your real flight when the visa comes out.

Note: Orders usually expire 3 days after you book them, so it's best to book and print them out only the day before you hand in your documents so they're more authentic, haha!

2) Hotel reservation form (printout, English): find the appropriate hotel on venere. You will need to provide a credit card number, but it won't be charged, and then just print out the reservation form. This is also just for visa purposes, so you can confirm your hotel after you sign out.
