Frequently asked questions
Does ETIAS cover the Canary and Balearic Islands?
Yes — they are part of Spain and the Schengen Area, so your ETIAS applies there too.
Is ETIAS the same as a Spanish visa?
No. ETIAS is for visa-exempt nationals on short stays; it does not replace a Spanish visa where one is required.
How long can I stay in Spain with ETIAS?
Up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the Schengen Area, including Spain.

€35 all-inclusive (€20 official fee + €15 service), fully refundable before submission.
