Thai passport holders need a Schengen visa to enter Spain. Apply at the VFS Global center in Bangkok (which handles Spain's visa applications) or at the Spanish Embassy. The short-stay Schengen visa (Type C) costs EUR 80 (about THB 3,100) and takes 10 to 15 working days to process. You need a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond planned departure from the Schengen area with two blank pages, a completed application form, two biometric photos, proof of accommodation, travel insurance (minimum EUR 30,000 coverage), bank statements for the last 3 months, and a confirmed return ticket.
The Schengen visa allows up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the entire Schengen zone. Days spent in France, Italy, or any other Schengen country count toward the same 90-day cap. Multiple-entry visas are available, particularly if you have a history of Schengen travel. Apply at least 4 weeks before your planned departure to allow for processing time.
