About This Visa

Indian ordinary-passport holders need a Schengen C. Usual staff path: book BLS (https://india.blsspainvisa.com), lodge in person, then the Consular Section of the Embassy of Spain in New Delhi decides. Holiday files go through BLS, not the chancery walk-up. Follow BLS instructions — incomplete files are refused.

A sticker is not an automatic right of entry. Carry the same trip papers at the Schengen border.

Documents Required

Embassy of Spain, New Delhi — tourism

  • Computerised form, each section filled, signed in blue ink. Minors: a parent signs
  • One recent colour photo, light background, facing forward
  • Passport: issued within 10 years, 2 blank pages, valid 6 months after planned Schengen exit. Copies of biodata, visas, and stamps
  • Insurance cover page only — min. EUR 30,000, whole Schengen, whole stay (first trip if multiple-entry)
  • Cover letter. Round-trip flight booking — do not buy tickets before the visa
  • Hotel for the stay, or visiting relatives/friends: invitation issued by the Spanish national police
  • 3 months stamped and signed bank statements. ITR last 2 years (ITR-V or Form 16). 3 months payslips if employed. PAN copy. Sponsor letter if someone else pays
