No doubt, Spain is a beautiful country with a host of tourists attractions and opportunities, little wonder Nigerians love to holiday in Barcelona. The question on the lips of many Spain visa applicants is, Will my application be granted? What are the requirements of a Spain visa? What are the reasons for refusal?

The truth about the matter is that when a Spanish visa application is rejected, there is something unsatisfactory about the application.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate through documents that he/she would not exceed the validity of their visa and return to their home country, and that applicant would return to their home country and would not become a monetary burden to the Spanish government

Applicants must demonstrate that they have a place to stay during their entire period in Spain.

How to demonstrate

(A) HOTEL BOOKING: With an invoice showing that the booking has been paid for. However, an application with a valid reservation without payment might be refused.

(B) INVITATION LETTER: your host will declare that you will stay in his or her house throughout your stay, and your host must commit to making sure that you don't spend an extra day than those specified on your visa. your host will go to the police office and request a letter of invitation, which is called Carta de invitacion in the Spanish language demonstrating the existence of proper housing. You cannot write this letter, as it is not a handwritten document, that you can create yourself. It is an official document and must be granted by the police.

2 . Insufficient economic power

The second condition that can get your application rejected is if you do not possess sufficient economic power to sustain yourself in the country for the period of your stay.

How much money do you need to demonstrate?

It is important to demonstrate your purpose of intended stay, be it business, tourism, education, or medical.

How to justify the purpose of your intended stay?

On the other hand, if you are going for an important meeting in a company, an invitation letter from the company would be a valid document here. if you are going on tourism, you must show a paid tour itinerary.
