Spain is part of the Schengen Area. US, Canadian, Australian, and many other passport holders can visit visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This applies across all 27 Schengen countries. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your departure date.

The 90/180 rule: you can spend 90 days total in the Schengen zone within any 180-day period. Days are cumulative across all Schengen countries. Use a Schengen calculator online to track your stays if visiting multiple times.

While rarely requested, Spanish border control may ask for proof of accommodation, return ticket, and sufficient funds (approximately €100/day). Keep digital copies of hotel bookings and return flights easily accessible on your phone.

Spain requires no specific vaccinations for entry. Standard travel vaccines (Hepatitis A/B, Typhoid, routine vaccines) should be up to date, but they're not mandatory for entry. Check CDC or WHO recommendations based on your origin country.

EU/EEA citizens should bring their EHIC card for access to Spanish public healthcare. Non-EU travelers should have comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies—minimum €30,000 coverage recommended. Spain has excellent healthcare but can be expensive for non-residents.

Carry medications in original packaging with prescription labels. Bring a copy of prescriptions using generic drug names—Spanish pharmacies (farmacias) use different brand names. Spanish pharmacies are well-stocked and pharmacists are knowledgeable, but require prescriptions for many medications.

From outside the EU: 200 cigarettes (or 100 cigarillos, 50 cigars, or 250g tobacco), 1 liter spirits over 22% alcohol OR 2 liters under 22%, 4 liters wine, and 16 liters beer. Goods up to €430 value by air. No limits on personal items for your own use.

Must declare cash, checks, or securities worth €10,000 or more when entering/leaving the EU. Use the customs declaration form. Failure to declare can result in confiscation and fines up to 50% of the undeclared amount.

Cannot bring: meat, dairy, or eggs from outside the EU; counterfeit goods; endangered species products; certain plants and seeds. Spain has strict agricultural import rules. Fresh food from outside EU is almost always prohibited. Declare anything questionable.
