The following are the required documents for all citizens of countries above to enter Spain without a visa:
- A valid passport or travel document is essential. It should remain valid for at least three months beyond the intended departure from the Schengen region and must have been issued within the last ten years prior to entry.

- For tourist or private visits, proof of a confirmed reservation for an organized trip, evidence of accommodation, or a letter of invitation from a private individual (note that this letter only confirms accommodation availability and does not exempt the traveler from other entry requirements). The proof of accommodation may specify whether it covers the traveler’s living expenses.
- For study trips, training programs, non-work internships, or volunteer work lasting less than three months, you may need to provide enrollment documents, proof of admission to an educational institution, an internship contract, or proof of participation in a volunteer program.
- For other travel purposes, you may be required to present an invitation, reservation, program details, or a certificate of participation in related activities, as well as entrance cards/tickets or receipts.
