This blog post is for anyone holding a UK Refugee Travel Document (issued under the 1951 Refugee Convention) who wants to visit Spain. It will clarify the visa requirements for your situation.
In short, you likely need a visa to enter Spain.
While UK passport holders generally don’t require a visa for short stays in Spain, this exemption doesn’t extend to UK Refugee Travel Documents.
Here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Apply for a Schengen Visa: A Schengen Visa allows travel within the Schengen Area, which includes Spain. You can apply through the Spanish Consulate or Embassy in your country of residence.
- Consider an EEA Family Member Visa (if applicable): If traveling with an EU family member, you might be eligible for an EEA Family Member Visa instead.
