Visa for Spain from Sudan: price, documents and processing time 2026

Yes. A Sudanese national must hold a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to enter Spain as a tourist. The visa allows a stay of up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period and is valid across the Schengen area, provided Spain is your main destination or first point of entry.

Gather a valid passport, the completed Schengen form, compliant photos, a return ticket, proof of accommodation and evidence of sufficient funds. Travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000 is mandatory. The visa fee is generally €90 for an adult; confirm the amount and payment method with the official source.

From Sudan, applications are lodged with the competent Spanish consulate or its external partner (BLS International). The process includes an appointment, file submission and capture of biometric data. Given local conditions, check exteriores.gob.es to see which representation or centre handles applications from Sudanese residents before you start.

• Your application goes to the state that is your main destination. If Spain is where you spend the longest, it handles the file, whatever the entry point.
• With no main destination, the competent state is the one you enter first.
• If Spain has no consulate in Sudan, another Schengen state may act on its behalf under a representation arrangement, or the file goes to the post accredited for your country.

Then the application goes to the post accredited for Sudan, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Sudan but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Processing usually takes 15 to 45 days but can be longer depending on the representation; apply at the earliest six months before departure and at the latest 15 days beforehand. Also check health requirements, including possible proof of yellow-fever vaccination depending on your itinerary. A complete file reduces requests for additional documents.

The most common error is applying to another Schengen country when Spain is the main destination. Watch out too for inadequate insurance, a passport with too little validity, or unproven funds. Do not book non-refundable tickets before the visa is granted.
