Good to know

  • Spain is an EU Member State, so the EU free-movement route applies.
  • The Schengen 90-days-in-180 rule, third-country passport-validity rules, funds conditions, and EES biometrics do not apply to this EU-citizen route.
  • An unconditional stay of up to three months is not a true maximum; longer stays depend on applicable free-movement conditions.
  • The official source states that EU citizens have only a general registration duty after entry where applicable.
