How & where to apply
Apply through BLS International, Spain's service provider in Morocco, by appointment, according to where you live (Rabat, Casablanca, Tangier, Nador, Tetouan, Agadir...). You complete the Schengen form, give your biometrics and hand in the file. Aim to apply 3-4 weeks before departure.
Documents & fees
Prepare a valid passport, a compliant photo, proof of accommodation, an itinerary, financial evidence and insurance covering at least EUR 30,000. The visa fee is normally EUR 90 for an adult, excluding the provider's service charge. Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (exteriores.gob.es) publishes the current checklist.

Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days; demand for appointment slots is high in Morocco, so book early. Keep bookings changeable until the visa is granted. Also check any entry health requirements that apply to your routing.
Common mistakes / good to know
Applying to the wrong consulate (outside your area of residence) or the wrong Schengen country is a frequent cause of rejection. Insufficient insurance or weak financial evidence also lead to refusals. Make sure the passport is under 10 years old and valid for 3 months beyond your intended departure.
