Spain is a Schengen Area country, and Sudanese passport holders require a Schengen visa to travel there. There is no e-visa system for Spain — applicants must appear in person to provide biometrics at an authorized visa application center.
Important Notice on Where to Apply
The Spanish Embassy in Khartoum has been closed since the outbreak of conflict in Sudan in 2023 and is not currently accepting visa applications. Sudanese applicants must therefore apply through the Spanish Embassy or the BLS visa application center in Cairo, Egypt. This means obtaining the visa requires traveling to Cairo to submit the application and provide biometrics.
How Baeed Helps
Given the complexity of the process and the need to coordinate with the Cairo application center, Baeed provides you with full support throughout the application: preparing supporting documents and the official form, booking your biometrics appointment at the BLS center in Cairo, reviewing your bank statement, flight, hotel, and health insurance bookings to meet embassy requirements, and guiding you step by step before and during your trip to Cairo to submit the application.
Processing Time
The standard Schengen processing period is 15 to 30 business days. However, Sudanese applicants are subject to mandatory "Prior Consultation" — an additional security procedure coordinated between the Spanish Embassy and other Schengen authorities — which can extend processing to up to 45 business days. We strongly recommend applying well in advance of your travel date.
