Short-stay visa (C) — tourism & visiting：중국 → 스페인
Chinese citizens need a Schengen short-stay visa for Spain — apply at the Spain visa application centre and give biometrics.
Uniform Schengen short-stay visa for tourism or visiting, applied for through Spain as the main destination.
- 유효 기간
- The consulate decides how long it lasts. A first or occasional visa usually just covers your trip; the more you travel (with a clean record), the longer a multiple-entry visa you can get — up to 5 years (the EU visa cascade).
- 입국 횟수
- Single, double or multiple entry — shown on the visa as 1, 2 or MULT
- 1회 최대 체류 기간
- Up to 90 days in any 180-day period — this cap applies even with a 5-year visa
