People go to Spain for sun, warmth, sea, wine, entertainment and an extensive cultural program. Barcelona, Madrid, Canary Islands, Ibiza, Mallorca, Tenerife … To get to Spain, Russian citizens need a visa.
Instructions
Step 1
You can get a visa at the Spain Visa Application Center in Moscow. There are also representations in other cities (you can find out about them on the official website of the Spanish Embassy).
In order to obtain a visa, you need to find out about the list of required documents - most often each country requires the same list, but there may be minor nuances that it is better to know about in advance.
So, to obtain a Spanish visa you will need:
Step 2
Completed application form and 2 color photographs.
You can fill out the form by downloading the form with translation into Russian on the website of the Embassy.
The questions in the questionnaire are not difficult, it can be easily completed.
Photos can be taken in any photo studio - the main thing is that they meet the requirements. The photo should clearly show the face, which should occupy more than 70% of the photo.
Step 3
Foreign passport (validity must be at least 3 months after the expiration of the requested visa) and old passports.
An old passport (if any) will be required in order to confirm information about previously issued visas.
Step 4
Medical insurance with coverage of at least € 30,000, valid in all Schengen countries for the entire period of stay in them.
Medical insurance is a very important document, and it is simply necessary to make it. Firstly, you will be calm (if something happens during the trip, you will be provided the necessary assistance free of charge), and secondly, it is a guarantee that you will be able to take care of yourself, and the country will not have to pay money for expensive treatment.
You can get insurance from almost any insurance company. Better, of course, if it is well known - there is less chance of "running into" a one-day company.
Step 5
Reservation of air tickets there and back or confirmation of another way of travel.
In order to issue you a visa, the Embassy must make sure that you arrive and leave the country on time. To do this, you need to provide the Embassy with copies of air or other tickets.
Step 6
Certificate confirming the place of work and a certificate of salary from this place of work.
A job and salary certificate is not a whim, but a necessity.
The Embassy must be sure that a good job keeps you at home, which allows you to have sufficient funds to live in Spain.
Step 7
In addition, you must have money in your bank account in case of emergencies. Also, an account statement will help prove that you have the necessary amount for the trip and will not work illegally in the country.
Also, travel checks and currency exchange certificates are suitable for confirming solvency.
Please note: The Spanish Embassy must be sure that you are changing money specifically for a trip to the country. Therefore, this should be done no earlier than three months before the start of the trip.
