V. Foreign citizens that are subject to visa requirements in order to enter
Spain must apply for the visa. For information about visas, kindly send an
email to visa.sudan@maec.es . Please note
that the Embassy does not provide any information about visas by phone.
An appointment for a visa application does not mean that the Embassy
considers that an exemption for travel under COVID-19 restrictions applies to a
given individual case. Visa applicants must carefully study whether the
relevant exemption applies or not before submitting the visa application. Visa
fees will not be refunded in any case.
