Spain Tour Packages

Spain is in the Schengen area and Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa. Spain differs from every other country on this site in one immediately practical way: it does not use VFS Global in India.

Fee and processing, as the missions publish them Spain charges the common Schengen visa fee. The mission pages read for this guide did not publish a current rupee amount we can quote reliably, so confirm the figure at the point of booking rather than relying on one quoted elsewhere. Applications may be submitted from six months before the scheduled travel date and no later than fifteen days before it, a closing date that is a deadline rather than a target, and appointments are booked through BLS International rather than VFS Global. Under the common Visa Code a decision is normally taken within fifteen calendar days and may be extended where a case requires further examination or consultation with other Schengen states. Fees and timeframes are set by the authorities and change. Final visa decisions remain with the relevant authorities. On timing, be careful how the fifteen-day figure is read: it is the standard decision period, generally fifteen calendar days after an admissible application has been received, and it is not a guaranteed end-to-end visa timeline. Further scrutiny or consultation between Schengen states can extend it, and appointment availability, biometrics and passport return all add time on top. Apply well in advance rather than to the minimum — applications can generally be lodged up to six months before travel, and that is the end of the window to plan to.
