Discover visa requirements for your trip
Uzbek citizens must obtain a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa to visit Spain for tourism. The standard fee is €90 for an adult, and processing usually takes 15 to 45 days.
Uzbekistan is not on the Schengen visa-exemption list, and Spain is part of that area. An Uzbek traveller must therefore obtain a visa before departure for a tourist stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The application targets Spain whenever it is your main destination.
Do you need a visa?
Yes. An Uzbek passport does not grant visa-free entry to the Schengen area: a Type C short-stay visa is mandatory for any tourist trip to Spain. It allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period and, once issued, lets you move between the other Schengen countries. It is requested when Spain is your sole or primary destination.
How and where to apply
Uzbek applicants apply to the competent Spanish consulate or its external service provider (for example BLS International or TLScontact) handling Spain's visa intake in Tashkent or the relevant jurisdiction. The exteriores.gob.es website and the consulate indicate the exact official channel. An appointment and biometric enrolment (fingerprints) are required.
Documents and fees
Prepare a valid passport (issued within the last 10 years and valid at least 3 months beyond your planned exit), the Schengen application form, a compliant photo, a return flight reservation, proof of accommodation, evidence of funds, and travel medical insurance covering at least €30,000. The visa fee is normally €90 for an adult; the external provider may charge a service fee. Confirm the exact amount at submission.
Processing and tips
Expect roughly 15 to 45 days of processing; file ahead of time, but no earlier than six months before travel. A complete, consistent file (dates, accommodation, itinerary) with clear proof of funds supports a fast decision. Also check the official source for any health entry requirements that apply to your route.
Common mistakes
Do not apply through a Schengen country other than your main destination: Spain must be the state where you stay longest. Avoid insurance below the €30,000 threshold, a passport with insufficient validity, or gaps in your bank statements. Finally, do not buy non-refundable tickets before you hold the visa.
