Visa Type

BLS has been appointed as an outsourced partner by the Consulate General of Spain in Erbil Iraq, to facilitate short stay visa applications to Spain.

Visa applications will be accepted at the BLS office in Erbil.

Foreign nationals who wish to travel to Spain must be in possession of a visa, unless they are nationals from countries which are not included in the list of countries with the obligation to carry a visa in order to cross external borders for stays in the Schengen Area of no more than three months (90 days) in a period of six months (180 days) from the date of entry into the Schengen Area.

In case the applicant intends to visit various Schengen countries the country responsible to issue the relevant visa for the entire duration of the trip, including for other Schengen countries will be determined in the following order:

The Embassy/Consulate of the country in which the traveller is going to stay the longest.
If the traveller is to stay the same time in different Schengen countries, the Embassy/Consulate of the country of first entry.

Please note: Granting a visa is the prerogative of the Embassy/Consulate for each application. Submission of all the documents does not imply “right” to be granted a visa.
