Welcome to Europe
The stunning mountains and gorgeous beaches of Spain are beautiful areas to visit. Other fascinating destinations to visit include a trip to Barcelona, Madrid or Sevilla, among other popular tourist destinations . While traveling in Spain, stay safe and stay healthy.
To satisfy the ETIAS Spain standards, travelers must provide a valid biometric passport. Since 2010, the US government has issued biometric passports, and practically everyone is eligible. In most cases, further paperwork isn’t required. The passport fees can be paid with a credit or debit card. You will receive updates to the email address provided when you fill out the form. Your passport must be valid for the entirety of your trip in Spain or any other Schengen member country. If your US passport expires while the ETIAS is still valid, you must obtain a new travel authorization using the renewed passport. ETIAS cannot be moved between passports because it is tied to an electronic chip.

In Spain, there are US consulates in Alicante, Barcelona, Madrid, Ibiza, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Except for children under the age of 12, all visitors to Spain from a ‘risk’ country must follow the COVID-19 standards and the Ministry of Health’s travel requirements (see Children and Minors). The Spanish government reviews its “risk nation” list every seven days. Its own set of rules governs each country. If you do not comply, you could risk a penalty of EUR 3000.
