Overview
Indian passport holders need a valid Schengen visa to travel to Spain for short stays like tourism, with a maximum stay of 90 days within 180 days. The visa allows travel to other Schengen countries. The application process typically takes 15 working days, but can be extended to 45 calendar days. Recent rules include the 90/180 day rule, which dictates the cumulative stay within the Schengen Area.
