How to apply for a Spain visa from Oman

What is a Spain visa and requirements for Oman citizens

• The Schengen Spain visa is for Oman citizens and residents who need a visa in order to enter Spain and the Schengen area. In order to be approved for the Spain visa from Oman, applicants should fulfill all the Spain visa requirements for Oman citizens and residents. These include the payment of Spain visa fees, submission of a complete application for the correct Spain visas and types, and attendance of a visa appointment (where other in-person requirements are fulfilled). Approved applicants stay for 90 days in Spain. In addition, they can move throughout the Schengen area; a zone consisting of 27 other European countries.  

Step 1—Research Spain visas and types for Oman passport holders

• Before you begin to apply for your visa, consider all the requirements and the time frame for lodging an application. Once you are confident you can meet the requirements, you should proceed with your application. 

Step 2—Plan when to apply for your Spain visa for Oman citizens 

• When to apply for the Spain visa from Oman depends on your travel plans: if you are planning a trip far in advance, you don’t have to apply right away. However, if your trip is imminent—in under two weeks, for example—you may not receive your visa in time. Ideally, you will apply 60 days before you need to leave Saudi Arabia (60 days is the longest time the Spanish embassy can take to process an application). However, it’s also possible to apply 15-30 days before your trip (it’s not, however, possible to apply more than six months before). 

Step 3—Plan where to apply for your Schengen visa from Oman

• A Spain visa from Oman is obtainable from the Spanish Embassy in Muscat. When you apply for a Spain visa from Oman, your documents will be processed by Spanish consular entities within the country. For help locating the Schengen visa application destination in Oman, contact us. 

Step 4—Select your type of Spain visa from Oman

• The Spain visa from Oman comes in various types, each of which refers to the main purpose of the journey you’re taking. Omanis who are traveling to the Basque region for the purpose of dining throughout its Michelin star-starred restaurants (for example) should apply for a “Tourist” Spain visa from Oman.

Step 5—Select your entry category of Spain visa from Oman

• The Spain visa from Oman comes in several entry categories (single, double, and multiple), each of which refers to the number of times the Spain Schengen visa holder can enter the zone. Single-entry holders can enter it one time, double-entry holders can enter it twice, and multiple-entry holders can enter it as many times as they like. You can travel back and forth between Oman and Spain on a multiple-entry Schengen visa throughout the 90 days your visa is valid. A double entry holder could also fly back to Oman (he or she could enter Spain, stay there for several weeks, fly back to Oman, and re-enter Spain—however if they left Spain a second time, they would not be allowed back in). Single-entry holders cannot return to the Schengen zone after leaving it—for whatever reason. You should therefore only apply for a single-entry Schengen visa to Spain if you are confident you can accomplish the objective of your trip before you need to leave the zone.

• Also required from applicants are supplemental documents, which are specific to the particular visa type you are pursuing. If you selected “Tourist” as your visa type on your Schengen visa, for example, you will need to submit different documents than if you applied for a medical visa. If you are an Arabic speaker, please contact schengenvisas.com for arranging translations of Arabic-language documents.
