The following countries are members of the Schengen Agreement: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

A “Schengen visa” is required to visit one or more of these Member States. This visa is valid in all Schengen States for a stay of up to 90 days within a six-month period for a visit, tourism or business, but not for employment or family reunification purposes. Filipino nationals who are ordinary passport holders are required to apply for a Visa to enter the Schengen area.

Filipino official or diplomatic passport holders do not need a visa to travel to Spain. If travelling to other Schengen countries, kindly check with the concerned Embassy/Consulate if a separate visa from them is needed.

For a visit to one Schengen state, visa applications must be lodged at the Embassy/Consulate of that particular Member State. If the visit includes more than one destination, visa applications must be lodged at the Embassy/Consulate of the Member State whose territory constitutes the MAIN destination of the visit(s) in terms of purpose or the length of stay.

Visas are not issued on the day of the application and may take up to 4 (four) weeks, notably when further scrutiny of the application is needed or in cases where the authorities of the represented Member State are consulted. Exceptionally, when additional documentation is needed in specific cases, the period for the decision may be extended up to a maximum of 60 calendar days. Holders of Schengen visas are still subject to immigration control at the point of entry and are not guaranteed entry into any of the Schengen countries.
