Visa Spain is required by the nationals of all countries who wish to visit this beautiful country. Spain is one of the 15 Schengen countries, which means, a resident of any of the Schengen countries or holder of a Schengen visa can freely travel within these countries, without a separate visa for each of them.
Foreign nationals, who wish to visit Spain, for a short time, need a corresponding visa or visitor's visa. For long term stay of more than 90 days in a period of 6 months, one has to apply for resident's visa, work and residence visa or student's visa, whichever is applicable. The resident's visa of Spain is issued to those who do not hold any professional position in Spain. The work and residence visa permits one to reside in Spain with some professional activities. The student's visa, as the name implies, is for those who want to pursue education course, training or research program in Spain.
