Dear Najmudin Abdullahi, Thank you for your inquiry. As an Ethiopian citizen planning to visit Spain for tourism, you will need to apply for a Schengen short-stay visa (Type C). Below are the general steps and requirements: Required Documents: 1. Visa application form – fully completed and signed. 2. Passport – valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned stay, with at least 2 blank pages. 3. Two recent passport-size photos – as per Schengen requirements. 4. Travel itinerary – including round-trip flight reservations. 5. Proof of accommodation – hotel bookings or invitation letter from a host in Spain. 6. Travel medical insurance – minimum coverage of €30,000 valid in the Schengen area. 7. Proof of financial means – bank statements for the last 3 months or a sponsor's affidavit. 8. Cover letter – stating purpose and duration of visit. Visa Fees: Adults: €80 Children (6-12 years): €40 Children under 6: Free Fees are usually payable in local currency at the time of application. Processing Time: Typically 15 calendar days, but it is advised to apply at least 3–4 weeks before travel. Additional Notes: You must apply through the Spanish Embassy or its official visa service center in Ethiopia. An interview may be required. Ensure all documents are translated into Spanish or English if necessary. For the most up-to-date and accurate information, please contact the Spanish Embassy in Addis Ababa or visit their official website. Kind regards, [Your Name]
