EU CITIZENS

EU citizens, as well as those from Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland do not require a visa to enter Spain.

The only documentation you need is your passport; however, if you are staying for longer than 90 days, you will have to provide proof of medical insurance coverage, either the EHIC or private coverage, as well as proof of financial means when applying for the Certificado de registro de residente de la unión, which includes your NIE. If you do not have the EHIC, the documentation for your private insurance plan will need to be issued by the company in Spanish; otherwise, you will need to have it translated by a sworn translator.

It must provide complete medical coverage including hospitalization, with no copayments or deductible.

If your passport is going to expire soon, renew it because countries will only issue visas on passports that are valid for at least six months from the date of the trip. The process starts in the Spanish Embassy in your country and continues when you arrive in Spain, until you receive the documentation.

Recommendation: Double-check this information with the Spanish Consulate or Embassy in your home country, as there might be variations in the requirements.
