Booking a flight to Spain from Dubai? If you dream of Barcelona’s architecture, Madrid’s culture, or Spain’s lively festivals, securing the right visa is the first step. Although the Spain visa application process from the UAE can sometimes seem complicated and time-consuming, FlyOn Travel & Tourism makes everything so much easier — so you’ll be able to concentrate on your travel plans while we deal with the paperwork.

From figuring out who requires a visa to preparing documents and submitting your application, this guide takes you through everything you need to know about applying for a Spain visa from Dubai in a fluid and stress-free manner.

Who requires a Spain visa?

Your visa requirements for Spain rely on your nationality and residency in the UAE.


UAE Citizens - When travelling to Spain for short periods, UAE passport holders usually do not need a Schengen visa. They can enter Spain visa-free if only for tourism or short visits, subject to Schengen regulations.

UAE Residents - If you are a UAE resident who is not an EU citizen, an EEA citizen, a Swiss citizen, or from another exempt country, you have to apply for a Spain (Schengen) visa. This is true for the majority of expatriates in the UAE who hold residence visas issued by Dubai or another emirate.

Who Does Not Need a Visa to Travel to Spain?

If you belong to:

  • EU citizens
  • Citizens of the European Economic Area (EEA)
  • Citizens of Switzerland
  • US citizens travelling for tourism or other short-term visits

All other nationals residing in the UAE must usually obtain a Spanish visa prior to departure.
