Overview
About the Spain visa for Indians
Spain is one of the most requested Schengen destinations for Indian travellers, and it is easy to see why: Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona, flamenco evenings in Seville, Madrid's Prado museum and the Moorish palaces of Granada. Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa, which permits up to 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen Area. In India, Spanish visa applications are collected by BLS International, where you submit your file and give fingerprints and a photograph. Apply to Spain if it is your main destination, or your first point of entry when your nights are split equally.
Audvik keeps the whole process organised. We check your papers against the current Spain checklist, complete the application form, book your BLS appointment and prepare a day-by-day itinerary that matches your hotel and flight reservations. We can also arrange compliant travel insurance and keep you updated until your passport comes back.

Documents required for a Spain visa

- Completed and signed Schengen visa application form
- Two recent photographs, 35 x 45 mm, white background
- Return flight reservation and hotel bookings covering every night in Spain
- Travel insurance with at least EUR 30,000 medical cover valid across the Schengen Area
- Bank statements for the last 3–6 months, stamped or attested by your bank
- Income tax returns for the last 2–3 years
- Leave letter from your employer, or business registration proof if self-employed

The exact list depends on your profile (employed, self-employed, student, retired) and purpose of travel. We share a personalised checklist with your quote.
Important things to know
- BLS appointment slots fill quickly before the summer holidays and Christmas; aim to book 4–8 weeks before travel.
- Keep hotel dates, flight dates and the itinerary perfectly consistent; mismatches are a common reason for extra queries.
- Spain's Canary and Balearic Islands are covered by the same Schengen visa, so include them in your itinerary if you plan to visit.
- The decision rests entirely with the Spanish consulate; a complete file helps, but no agent can guarantee approval.

Spain visa FAQs
Do Indians need a visa for Spain?
Yes. Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa to visit Spain for tourism, business or family visits. It allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period and also lets you travel to other Schengen countries, provided Spain is the main destination of your trip.
How long does a Spain visa take for Indians?
Most applications are decided in around 15 calendar days after your biometrics appointment. During peak season, or if the consulate asks for more documents, it can take longer. Apply at least 15 days before travel and no earlier than six months ahead; applying 4–6 weeks early is a sensible buffer.
Where do I submit my Spain visa application in India?
Spain uses BLS International as its visa application partner in India. You book an appointment, attend a BLS centre with your documents, give fingerprints and a photo, and collect your passport from the same centre once the consulate has made its decision.
Can I visit France or Portugal on a Spain Schengen visa?
Yes, a Spain-issued Schengen visa lets you move freely within the Schengen Area during its validity. However, Spain must be where you spend the most nights. If most of your nights are in France or Portugal, you should apply to that country instead.
Can Audvik book my flights and hotels for the Spain visa?
Yes. Audvik can arrange flight reservations, hotel bookings, travel insurance and a full Spain tour package if you prefer. We make sure these documents line up with your visa application and itinerary, which keeps your file clear and consistent for the consulate.
