    2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?

    It doesn't matter what passport you hold, if you take an intra Schengen flight, there is no immigration or customs.

    2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?

    Assuming they are flying from Poland, or more precisely, within Schengen.

    2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?

    If s/he is a Polish citizen as a member of a Schengen, EU country, s/he won’t have to worry about customs and passport control.

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    To avoid confusion, "primary destination" means the country you'll spend the most time in, not the first one you arrive in.

    Schengen visa

    Just to be clear and to make sure that I understand correctly: The OP is looking for a "Schengen" visa that is extended, or of a very long duration, so that it covers this year's camino trip and next year's camino trip - and in between these two camino trips the OP is not in Spain but in their...

    Schengen visa

    The Confraternity of Saint James in South Africa once had-- perhaps still has-- a protocol established with the Consulate in Cape Town for the regular 90-day Schengen visa--- I do not think that an extended one exists. Get in touch with them, and they may be able to help you.

    Schengen visa

    A Schengen visa (for a stay of maximum 90 days within 180 days) cannot be extended. A Schengen visa is a short stay visa and there are uniform rules for it in all the Schengen countries. For other stays, you need to get a long stay visa. These are national visa and the rules for obtaining them...

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    Hello, you are applying for a Schengen visa for Spain. Though not the same, I recently successfully navigated the application process for a France Schengen visa for a non-Canadian but not for an itinerary for the Camino. Many things were unclear from the official website. So all the...

    Schengen visa

    How expensive is it? Isn't the fee for the uniform Schengen visa for up to 90 days in any 180 days period currently €90 (R 1798) plus perhaps an obligatory agency fee (BLS International, isn't it?) which is something like €20 (R 338)? So you are looking for a national long stay Spanish visa...

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    Which form do you mean? Since @melooon does not have a passport from a country that allows them to travel to Spain without a visa they need to apply for a Schengen visa which requires confirmed reservations for their entire trip.

    Schengen visa

    Hi We did our first camino in June 2024. We already booked for June/ July 2025. We need a Shengen Visa to travel to Spain. The visa is only valid for 90 days. The visa application is very expensive. Is there a way to get an extended visa? As I said, very expensive to apply each year.

    ...you be traveling under" were the words 'travel document' rather than 'passport'. Which completely changes things.

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    St Jean PdP is in France. If @melooon needs a specific visa for Spain, wouldn't the same apply for a stay in France in that case? Does Schengen apply or not? If the visa is for Spain alone and it is not a Schengen visa, it is not valid for France. How will you travel from Canada to the CF...

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    Hi Peter I’m not a Canadian citizen but I have a Canadian travel document and I definitely need a visa to travel to Spain so I’m just wondering what that visas itinerary process looked like for other people.

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    @melooon, welcome to the forum. Canadian citizens do not need a visa for travel to countries within the Schengen area, unless you intend to stay more than 90 days. Therefore you do not need a visa - unless of course you intend to travel more within the Schengen Zone and the camino is just part...

    Do I need A Visa?

    AFAIK and AFAII, if you entered the Schengen-Area without a Visa / ETIAS waiver, you are free to roam for 90 days. This freedom isn't touched by any changes in laws while doing so.
