Spain introduced four different types of visas.

What are the policy changes for Spanish visas? What types should I pay attention to when choosing a visa? Here are four different types of visas in Spain. 1. transit visa If you book a joint flight ticket and stay for less than 48 hours, you don't need a transit visa.

Otherwise, you should apply for a transit visa and be allowed to stay for 5 days. The visa is valid for 3 months.

Second, the visa for visiting relatives The Spanish government stipulates that there are only three types of people who apply to visit relatives in Spain for more than three months:

Parents, minor children and spouses who have lost their labor force.

When visiting relatives in Spain and applying for an entry visa to the Spanish Embassy in China, China citizens are required to provide a certificate of kinship certified by the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Spanish Embassy in China (attached translation) and a copy of the residence certificate of relatives in Spain.

After receiving the application, the Spanish Embassy in China will forward it to the relevant domestic departments for approval, and then issue an entry visa after approval. The validity period of a Spanish entry visa is generally 3 months.

3. Spanish official visa/business visa When going to Spain for official business, the following materials must be provided when applying for a visa:

Name and passport number of the person going abroad

Official invitation letter (telex is invalid), name of inviter, company name, address and telephone number.

Those who stay in Spain for more than 3 months need to fill in 3 visa application forms and submit 3 photos.

To apply for a visa for a stay of more than 1 month, trainees holding ordinary passports on business need to provide 2 notarial certificates with no criminal record, 2 academic certificates, 1 contract and health certificates respectively.

Four. Spanish immigrant visa

For foreigners who apply for immigration to Spain, the law stipulates that they can apply for an immigrant visa under the following four circumstances:

Parents of Spanish citizens abroad (including adoptive parents), children of Spanish citizens under the age of 18 or children adopted abroad, brothers and sisters of Spanish citizens living abroad, and foreign citizens who meet the above conditions because their spouses have no children to rely on can apply to the local immigration office for immigration and settlement through their relatives who have settled in Spain.

To apply for an immigrant visa, the applicant must go to the Spanish Embassy in China for an interview in person. When more than one person in a family applies for a visa at the same time, one person can be sent as a representative for an interview.

The following materials must be held during the interview:

The name, detailed address, original residence permit of the applicant's relatives in Spain or a copy of the visa application form certified and sealed by the relevant Spanish police station in quadruplicate, four photos of the applicant himself, and the original notarial certificate of kinship issued by the notary office of the province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government where the applicant is located, which has been certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and the Spanish Embassy in China.

The applicant's valid passport will be reported to the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the embassy accepts the visa application. After approval, the applicant will be told to apply for a visa at the embassy.
