Family and Group Visa Applications: How to Apply for Multiple Spain Visas from Saudi Arabia

Traveling to Spain can be a wonderful experience for families and groups alike, whether for leisure, business, or special occasions. If you’re planning a trip to Spain from Saudi Arabia with multiple family members or friends, applying for Spain visas for everyone might seem like a daunting task. This guide will walk you through the process of applying for multiple Spain visas from Saudi Arabia, ensuring a smooth and efficient application experience.

Understanding the Visa Requirements

Before you begin the application process, it’s important to understand the type of visa you need. For short stays, usually up to 90 days, you will require a Schengen visa, specifically a short-stay visa for Spain. This visa allows travel to all Schengen countries, including Spain.

1. Gather Necessary Documents

Each family member or group participant will need to provide specific documents. Ensure you have the following for each applicant:

• Completed Visa Application Form: Each person must fill out and sign the application form.
• Passport: Valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date from Spain.
• Passport-sized Photographs: Recent photos meeting Schengen visa requirements.
• Proof of Travel Insurance: Coverage of at least €30,000 for medical emergencies.
• Flight Itinerary: Confirmed flight bookings for the entire duration of the stay.
• Accommodation Details: Hotel bookings or rental agreements for the duration of your stay.
• Proof of Financial Means: Bank statements, pay slips, or other evidence of financial stability.
• Proof of Ties to Saudi Arabia: Employment letter, property ownership, or other documents showing your intent to return to Saudi Arabia.
• Cover Letter: Explain the purpose of your visit and provide details of your itinerary.

2. Schedule Your Appointment

Each member of the family or group must book an appointment using our website. You can schedule appointments online or via phone. Ensure you book all appointments around the same time to streamline the process.

3. Pay the Visa Fees

Visa fees are payable at the time of the application submission. The fee for each visa application may vary, and it’s typically payable in Saudi Riyals. Be sure to check the current fee schedule and bring the exact amount.

4. Track Your Application

After submission, you will receive a receipt and tracking number. Use this number to track the status of your visa application online. Processing times can vary, but it usually takes around 15 calendar days.

5. Collect Your Visas

Once your visas are approved, you will be notified to collect them from the VAC or consulate. Check each visa for accuracy before leaving the office. Ensure that all details are correct and that the visa covers the intended travel dates.

Tips for a Smooth Application Process

• Apply Early: Start the application process well in advance of your planned travel dates to account for any potential delays.
• Double-Check Documents: Ensure all documents are complete and accurate to avoid rejection or delays.
• Consistent Information: Provide consistent and truthful information across all documents and applications.

Applying for multiple Spain visas from Saudi Arabia doesn’t have to be stressful. By gathering all necessary documents, scheduling appointments, and following the steps outlined, you can ensure a smooth and successful application process for your family or group. Enjoy your trip to Spain, and make the most of your time exploring the beautiful country with your loved ones.
