Schengen area
Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa for a holiday in Spain of up to 90 days. Spain does not use VFS in India; applications are submitted through BLS International and decided by the Spanish consular authorities. Spain applies the harmonised Schengen list of supporting documents for applicants in India, which covers transport, accommodation and financial proof.
Where to apply: Book an appointment and submit documents and biometrics at a BLS International Spain visa application centre in India. BLS only receives the file; the decision is taken by the Spanish consular authorities in India.
