Do you need a visa to Mallorca?

Yes, Russians need a Schengen visa to visit the island of Mallorca. If you do not have a valid Schengen multiple entry visa, you will need to obtain a Spanish visa.

Unfortunately, by the time of the trip to Mallorca, our Schengen visas had already expired, and Masha had never had one before. In addition, in our previous applications for a Schengen visa, we had never gone through the biometrics procedure (fingerprinting and photography), which means this was what awaited us... So, let’s go get visas and talk about our experience of obtaining them.

You can apply for a visa to Spain in Moscow at the Spanish Consulate, through visa centers, and even with delivery to your home or work through.

However, we were not in Moscow and there was no desire to go specifically to Moscow with a small child to register it and then receive it. We were lucky - in our city there was Visa Center vfs.Global accepting documents for a visa to Spain.

But before applying for a Schengen visa, you must first buy air tickets, book hotels, arrange insurance, take photographs and prepare all documents.

Flights to Mallorca

We purchased air tickets in advance at a very good sale on the website Aviasales

Hotel reservations in Mallorca

When planning our trip, we put together a travel itinerary around Mallorca by rental car. Accordingly, we booked not one hotel, but three - in Palma Nova near Palma de Mallorca in the southwest of the island, in Playa de Muro near Port de Alcudia in the north and in Cala de Or in the southeast...

All hotels are booked by best prices through the wonderful search engine RoomGuru

Insurance to Spain

Schengen visa required medical insurance with a coverage amount of at least 30,000 euros and a fifteen-day supply after the end date of the trip. We always issue insurance online on the website. Indicate the country ("Spain" or "All Schengen countries"), the number and age of travelers and travel dates. Additional 15 days will be entered automatically in the policy. The insurance policy for all three of us cost us less than 20 euros, and its registration took 5-7 minutes.

Photo requirements for a Spanish visa

As I already wrote, photo requirements may differ slightly among consulates different countries Schengen zone.

To obtain a Spanish visa, you need a photograph not just with a light background, but with a white one. In normal professional photo laboratories, where photographs are printed for documents, they should know this. The photographer immediately asked us what kind of Schengen visa a photograph was needed for - there were no problems. The rest of the photo requirements are standard - 3.5 x 4.5 cm, color, matte, without borders, oval and corner, head size from crown to chin ~ 3 cm, face occupies 70-80% of the photo, etc.

List of documents for a Spanish visa

Below is an approximate list of documents that need to be provided to obtain a Schengen visa to Spain. But before completing the documents, be sure to check the official up-to-date information on the website of the Spanish Consulate. We submitted documents to the vfs.Global visa center.

1. Completed application form for a Schengen visa. It is better to fill it out according to the sample posted on the website of the Spanish Embassy. We applied for a multiple-entry visa for a year.
2. A passport with a validity period of at least 3 months after completion of the trip and at least 2 blank pages. Sometimes photocopies of all pages of the international passport and photocopies of issued Schengen visas for the last 3 years are required.
3. Copies of completed pages of the internal Russian passport.
4. Air tickets or other confirmation of the route (train tickets, printed route on a map when traveling by car). Printed by us electronic air tickets from the site Aviasales came without any questions.
5. Confirmation of residence: printed hotel reservations or invitations from residents of the country. As we have already said, some consulates require confirmation of 100% payment for hotels and a fax on hotel letterhead confirming the reservation. But for a Spanish visa the requirements are not so strict. Printed reservations of our hotels from the RoomGuru website it also turned out to be quite enough.
6. An insurance policy issued in just 5-7 minutes also came up.
7. Certificate from the place of study or work about the position held, leave granted for the duration of the trip and the average monthly salary (on company letterhead). It is desirable that the salary be at least 1,000 euros in ruble equivalent. We have registered an LLC, so I wrote out a certificate for myself and indicated the required salary. Lena was written in the application form that she is a freelancer.
8. Confirmation of solvency. If you are not working, cannot obtain a certificate from work, or the certificate indicates a lower salary (and sometimes in addition to the certificate from work), a bank statement is required Money over the last 3 months. In addition to the movement of funds, the account should have funds available in the amount of approximately 50-70 euros per person for each day of the planned trip. If there are not enough funds, then a sponsorship letter is printed from the person sponsoring your trip, providing his documents confirming his solvency. We attached bank statements with the documents showing the flow of funds for the last 3 months and the amount in the account at the rate of about 70 euros per person for the entire trip. Some banks provide such a certificate immediately, but in some you will have to order and wait up to 2 weeks for it. Don't delay!
9. Confirmation of intention to return home. Typically, such documents are a Certificate of Employment and round-trip air tickets. But sometimes additional confirmation is required in the form of documents for a car, real estate, marriage and birth certificates... We did not provide anything except air tickets.
10. Documents for the child. For one-year-old Masha, we additionally submitted her birth certificate with a copy and notarized mutual permission for the child to travel with the second parent.
11. Color photograph 3.5 x 4.5 cm - 1 piece, meeting the requirements of the consulate.

Cost of a Schengen visa to Spain

A Spanish visa costs 35 euros (official visa fee from the Spanish consulate) plus the vfs.Global service fee - about another 20 euros. Children under 6 years of age are exempt from paying both the visa fee and the service fee. Accordingly, we paid a little more than 100 euros for the two of us and Masha, adding an additional SMS notification about the status of the review. We received a copy of the service agreement and a payment receipt.

Document submission procedure and biometrics

Submitting documents for a Spanish visa at the visa center turned out to be extremely simple and fast. No pre-registration is required. We arrived at the visa center with a prepared package of documents. There was one person in front of us - we only waited about five minutes. After studying and accepting all the documents by the employee, we paid the visa and service fee, we were invited to the biometrics procedure. The biometrics took a little longer - each finger needs to be applied to the scanner quickly and with a certain amount of pressure, and we did it several times. If the skin on your fingers is very dry, moisten it with a special lotion.

Obtaining a visa to Spain

During the week-long waiting period, we received several SMS - about sending documents, about their receipt at the Spanish Consulate, about consideration and return to the visa center. If everyone had to be present when submitting the documents, then one person with the contract and receipt, all documents and confirmation of relationship in relation to the other applicants is enough to receive it.

All that remains is to print out the received envelope and find out with excitement whether visas are stuck in the passports and what kind... We were given a multiple visa, but instead of the requested year, only for 6 months. Well, still better than refusal or short-term

That's it, we're flying to Mallorca!
