A Schengen type C visa is required for travel to Spain. Documents are accepted at the Capago visa centre in Baku.

The consular fee is 35 euros, with the visa centre’s service charge added on top. Appointments are harder to find in the summer season, so plan the application early.

Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and the Canary Islands are the most popular destinations. If you plan to travel to the islands, domestic flights need a separate booking. Viza.az plans the domestic island flights and the summer appointment together.

  • Ordinary passport Valid for at least three months after the trip, issued within the last ten years, with at least two blank pages.
  • Copy of your ID card Required alongside the passport.
  • Completed Schengen application form A single form for all member states; it must be signed and dated.
  • Two biometric photographs 35×45 mm, light background, taken within the last six months.
  • Medical insurance Article 15 of the Visa Code requires cover of at least 30,000 euros. It must be valid across all member states and for every day of the stay, and cover emergency care, hospital treatment, medical repatriation and death.

  • Proof of accommodation A hotel booking or a formal invitation from your host, covering every night of the trip.

Business owners submit a copy of the tax registration, a turnover certificate from the tax office and a register extract instead; students submit a letter from their institution.
  • Proof of marital status Marriage certificate, and birth certificates for children under 18. If a child travels with one parent, the other's notarised consent is required.
  • Previous passports and visas Schengen, UK, US and Canadian visas issued in recent years count as a good travel history. It is not on the official list, but consulates ask for it regularly.
  • Sponsor's documents If someone else is funding the trip: the sponsor's letter, proof of income and evidence of the relationship. Required only in that case.
  • Confirmation of the travel plan For tourist applications, excursion and domestic flight bookings are added to the file as well.

The consular fee is 35 euros and the Capago service charge is 26 euros. The Viza.az service fee is 95 AZN.

Yes, June to August is the busiest period and appointments run out quickly. If you are planning a summer trip, start the application in April or May.

No. The Canary Islands are part of Spain and are in the Schengen zone — the same visa allows entry. Just add the domestic flight booking to the document file.

A separate booking is submitted for the accommodation in each city, and the dates must form an unbroken sequence. A gap — for instance no booking for two nights — raises questions.

Yes, a match ticket is a strong document confirming the purpose of the trip. It is important to line the ticket up with the hotel booking and the flight dates.

Usually 7 to 15 working days. In the summer season and around public holidays the period stretches.

We put together the document file, fit the domestic island flight bookings to the route and plan the Capago appointment. In the summer season we start looking for an appointment early.
