Spain Visit Visa from Nepal 2026: Application Guide
Spain is a favorite European destination for Nepali travelers thanks to its historic cities, Mediterranean beaches, vibrant culture, and rich food traditions. In 2026, Nepalese passport holders planning to visit Spain for tourism, leisure, or visiting family and friends must apply for a Schengen Visit Visa (Type C) before departure. Spain does not provide visa-free or visa-on-arrival access for Nepali citizens, and all applications are assessed under the Schengen Visa Code.
A Spain Visit Visa allows Nepali travelers to stay up to 90 days within a 180-day period in Spain and other Schengen countries. The visa is strictly for short-term visits and does not permit employment, paid activities, or long-term residence.
Application System (2026)
Spain processes visit visa applications through the authorized Visa Application Centre (VAC) representing Spanish authorities in Nepal. Applicants are encouraged to complete the Schengen visa application form digitally, organize all supporting documents carefully, book appointments online, and submit the application in person at the VAC. During submission, biometric data (fingerprints and photograph) is collected.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for a Spain Visit Visa, Nepali applicants must clearly demonstrate that their visit is temporary and for tourism or personal purposes only. Applicants must show sufficient financial resources to cover travel and stay, valid travel medical insurance, and strong ties to Nepal—such as employment, business ownership, family responsibilities, property ownership, or academic enrollment—to prove their intention to return after the visit.
Required Documents
A valid passport is mandatory and should generally be valid for at least six months beyond the intended return date, with a minimum of two blank pages. Applicants must submit photocopies of the passport bio-data page and previous visas if available.
Applicants must submit a fully completed and signed Schengen visa application form along with recent passport-size photographs that meet Schengen specifications, including a plain background and clear facial visibility.
A clear travel itinerary is required, including round-trip flight reservations, hotel bookings covering the entire stay in Spain, and a day-by-day travel plan. All travel details must be consistent across documents.
Proof of financial means is essential and may include recent bank statements (typically last 3–6 months), salary slips, income certificates, savings or fixed deposit records, or sponsorship documents if the trip is funded by another person.
Applicants must also submit travel medical insurance with minimum coverage of €30,000, valid for all Schengen countries and for the entire duration of the stay. Insurance details must clearly show coverage amount and validity dates.
Evidence of strong ties to Nepal is critical and may include employment letters, business registration documents, property ownership papers, family records, or academic documents. These documents help demonstrate the applicant’s intent to return to Nepal.
If visiting family or friends in Spain, an invitation letter along with proof of relationship and the host’s legal residence status may be required. Spanish authorities may request additional documents depending on the applicant’s profile.
Biometrics & Processing Time
Most Nepali applicants must provide biometric data at the VAC appointment. If biometrics were previously submitted for a Schengen visa and are still valid, they may be reused according to Schengen regulations.
Standard processing time is usually around 15 calendar days, but it may extend to 30–60 days during peak travel seasons or if additional verification is required. Applicants are strongly advised to apply 8–12 weeks before their intended travel date.
Entry & Visa Conditions
Even with an approved visa, final entry into Spain is decided by immigration officers at the port of entry. Travelers may be asked to present accommodation proof, return tickets, travel insurance, and evidence of sufficient funds. Visitors must strictly follow the 90/180-day rule and must not work or overstay.
