EMBASSIES

Travelling to Spain is easy. The documents you need vary depending on where you are from.

If you are a citizen of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein: all you need is your Identification Card, or a valid passport.

If you are from any of the following countries: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Panama, Paraguay, Korea, Romania, San Marino, the Holy See, Singapore, Uruguay, and Venezuela: all you need is a valid passport to enter Spain, where you can stay for a maximum of 90 days. IAESTE takes no responsability whatsoever if you decide to extend your stay, nor can it help you to get a visa extension.

If you are from any other country, according to the criteria of the EU: you must request a tourist visa at the Spanish Consulate of your country of residence. You will also need a valid passport. In these cases, the Spanish authorities may ask documents showing where you will stay, confirmation of an organised traineeship, return air tickets or a personal invitation letter. We ask employers to send invitation letters to the corresponding embassies, but these are unofficial and no guarantee that you can get a visa.

Since conditions may vary, we recommend you contact your local Spanish Consulate or Embassy for more information on these requirements. The list of Spanish Consulates and Embassies in your place of residence can be found at www.spain.info (plan your trip / practical info / embassies).
