Application form for a visa to Spain for 2021: official sample application form in DOC and PDF

Visa to Spain

A short-term visa for a period of no more than 90 days is issued either at the Spanish visa center or directly at the Consulate General of Spain in Moscow. A short-term visa is understood as a permit for temporary stay in Spain and other countries included in the Schengen area. Stay on a visa for no more than 90 days in a period of 180 days. The validity period of a visa can be from several days to several years. Purposes of the trip: business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, property owners, sports, cultural, scientific activities, study (up to 90 days), transit, for medical reasons... A Spanish visa can be single, double or multiple. It is advisable to apply for a multiple-entry visa immediately, because... the cost of the visa does not change and if the decision is positive, you can make a second trip to Spain or to another Schengen country.

How to fill out a visa application form for the Spanish Embassy: choosing a format

You have the right to choose both a printed version and a handwritten one.

By hand

This method is suitable for people with neat and legible handwriting. You must write in block letters; the inspectors must understand every word, otherwise they may refuse. You can use a pen with black or blue ink. Correcting, crossing out, or painting over anything with a proofreader is strictly prohibited. If you made a mistake, fill out a new form.

On your computer in MS Word or PDF

This is much more convenient due to the possibility of filling out fields in Russian, and the system will translate them into Latin. The built-in editor highlights incorrectly spelled words, which will help you avoid spelling and grammatical errors.

An example of filling out a form for a visa to Spain can be downloaded from the link, it’s easier to navigate. To make it less difficult for you, we have prepared instructions where we tried to explain in detail each step in filling out.

Paragraph 1

Write your last name exactly as in your passport, in Latin characters. If it is double, do not forget to put a hyphen between its parts.

Point 2

Indicate your old last name if it was changed at some point. If you changed it several times, write each of them separated by a slash “/”.

Point 3

Please also print your name in Latin letters; look it up in your foreign passport to do it correctly.

Point 4

The date of birth is entered in numbers separated by a hyphen (day - month - year) without spaces.

Point 5

Pay attention to this field in the example of filling out the application form for a Spanish visa in Spain. Only the name of the city, village, town is entered here, for example, YAROSLAVL, VELIKOYE, PERVOMAYSKY, region and district - no need. Do not add the words “city”, “settlement”, “village” and their abbreviations, such as “city”, “city”, “settlement”, “p.”, “village”, “s.”

Point 6

The country of birth is also printed in accordance with the passport. Attention, do not confuse it with your place of residence, for some of you it may be different. For example, you were born in the USSR (write USSR), and live in the Russian Federation (RUSSIAN FEDERATION or RUSSIA).

Point 7

Here you must indicate the state of which you are currently a citizen. Please note: some people have different citizenship at birth, as in the previous point.

Clause 8

Everything is simple here: you need to mark the gender in the appropriate square.

Clause 9

We put a mark next to the desired marital status. Those who are connected to a partner only through a civil marriage, about (Single/Unmarried). Married couples must attach a marriage certificate.

Clause 10

Important window for minors. This includes the last name, first name, address (if it does not match what the applicant indicated) and citizenship of the parent, guardian or other legal representative.

Clause 11

Citizens of the Russian Federation are not assigned identification numbers; this field must be left blank.

Clause 12

Attention: oh, despite the fact that it is foreign. Often people mistakenly check “Other travel document”.

Clause 13

Here you need to dial your international passport number (do not confuse it with a Russian one) without spaces, as in the sample application form for obtaining a Schengen visa to Spain.

Clause 14

The date of issue is entered in numbers separated by a hyphen (day - month - year) without spaces.

Clause 15

Indicate the end of its action in the same way.

Clause 16

Sometimes the department that issued the document is written here, for example, the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is incorrect, you need to write the country, in our case - RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

Clause 17

Enter the address here without any additions such as “street”, “avenue”, “house” or their abbreviated versions. Only the name in the form of a transliteration (TVERSKAYA), then after a space - a house, after a hyphen - an apartment and next to it in parentheses - a city (in English or Spanish).

Next, after the slash symbol “/”, enter your email. In the adjacent field on the right - your current phone number. Follow the type of writing as in the sample application form for a national visa to the Spanish Consulate.

Clause 18

If you have a residence permit or citizenship of another country, write its number and expiration date. If they are missing, then Fr.

Clause 19

Here you need to write what you do: teacher, doctor, manager, cashier, accountant, administrator, consultant, etc. Or what social status you are: housewife, unemployed, pensioner, schoolchild, student, etc. Translate the words into English.

Clause 20

Please indicate the full name of the institution where you work or study. If it does not have an official English translation, type it in translit form, replacing LLC with LLC, AO with JS. Then, after the comma, enter the name of the city and after the space, the telephone number in international format without the eight or seven with a plus: (xxx) xxx xx xx (X denotes a number).

Point 21

The type of visa depends on the purpose of the trip. Sometimes mistakes are made here: o or “Sport” when going to a match or concert as a spectator. This is incorrect, in this case a mark should be placed next to the word “Tourism”, and the previous ones are suitable only for athletes or artists and are confirmed by a written invitation from the host organization.

A Spanish treatment center may invite you to provide medical services, in which case select “Treatment”. To travel to relatives or friends, you must check the appropriate box and support it with an invitation letter.

If you have to make a transfer there, then select “Transit through the airport”, and if you are visiting it while passing through, then simply select “Transit”.

“Other” is marked if you are participating in a conference and under other circumstances.

Point 22

Here we enter SPAIN.

Point 23

Pay special attention, at this stage the most errors occur. You must indicate the country where you will first cross the Schengen zone. That is, if you fly to Spain and change trains in Germany, then you need to enter it on the form (GERMANY). But if you make a transfer on the territory of a state that is not part of Schengen, for example, in Belarus, then for the first time you will enter its territory directly on Spanish soil. Then you need to write it, then the answers in points 22 and 23 will be the same - SPAIN.

Point 24

It's better if you designate o. Otherwise, there is a risk that the document will be considered at the Spanish consulate as an application for a national visa (LTV). And its action is limited only to a given state.

Point 25

Here indicate the number of days during which you will stay in the Schengen area. If at this time you are going to visit another territory other than Spanish, write how many days you plan to stay there.

If you have other visas, please indicate their number and validity period.

Paragraph 29

Now look at the air ticket and write down the date of arrival from there, as in the example.

Point 30

Do the same with the departure date.

Paragraph 31

If you are officially invited, the last name, first name and patronymic of the person who made up the invitation document must be entered. Otherwise, indicate the Spanish hotel, inn or hostel where you plan to stay. If you live in several, indicate only the first one. You need to print his address (including email) and phone number in the adjacent window.

Paragraph 32

Fill out the item if you were invited by an organization, and not by one specific person. It is necessary to write similar data, but this time relating to a legal entity. Attention: its name is written without quotation marks, as in the example. And pay attention to the phone format: +xx xx xxx xx xx (X indicates a number).

Paragraph 33

If you are paying for the trip yourself, then mark in the left field the payment methods you will use; there may be several of them. If the company that sent the invitation pays for you, then the first two positions in the right field are noted, as well as what it will pay for: transportation, accommodation, etc.

Paragraph 34

Those who have relatives living in the European Union, European Economic Area or Switzerland must indicate their personal data in the appropriate fields: surname, first name, date of birth, citizenship, passport number or other identification document.

Paragraph 35

Here you need to put a tick next to the item indicating the degree of relationship with him.
