To be allowed to enter Spain, you must meet the following requirements:

Enter through an authorised border point.
Demonstrate that you meet the conditions for the proposed stay and have sufficient financial resources.
You are not banned from entering Spain.

Required documents to show at the port of entry in Spain:
When entering Spain, you will need to show the following documents, depending on your nationality:

• EU nationals: Valid passport or national ID card.
• Non-EU nationals who are visa-exempt: Valid passport or travel document.
• Non-EU nationals with visa requirements: Valid passport with a Schengen or a Spanish national visa.

Additionally, non-EU travellers showing up at the Spanish port of entry may be asked to present the following documents in order to be allowed to enter Spain:

• Cash or documents that prove of sufficient funds for the entire stay in Spain.
