Visa Information – Valencia, Spain
Spain is part of the Schengen Area, a group of 26 European countries that allow free movement of people between each of them. As such, citizens from any of these countries do not need a visa to visit Spain, though if staying longer than three months they must request a registration certificate.
Please be aware that the conference organizers are not able to haste visas’ appointments or other procedures for participants. We won’t be able to contact directly consulates or embassies and we do not intervene in anyway with the Visa process as the participant is the singular responsible to apply and follow up on the Visa application. We advise all participants to check whether or not a visa is needed. If you are likely to need a visa, we recommend that you make your application as soon as possible.
All international nationals must possess valid identification and travel documents before entering Spain. Please be mindful of the Spain passport and visa policies for citizens and visitors. For more information check the following pages:
