FAQs
hey guys.Wanted to ask What are the FAQs by the immigration officer when you reach Madrid, Spain?
|
In 20+ trips to Europe over the last several decades I can't recall being asked a single question upon arrival.
I suppose they could ask purpose of your visit, how long you are staying and where in Spain you are going. If you have nothing to hide then short simple truthful answers are the only info you need to provide. If you do, then all bets are off. |
We went to Madrid last November. No questions were asked. Just checked passport and that was it. All very quick and easy.

OP is probably Indian and doesn't enjoy the benefits of a visa upon a arrival that Americans and Canadians have.
Be prepared to tell them where you are going, where you are staying, how you are paying for it,etc. and also have proof of funds and your return ticket. |
Even if the OP is Indian, the questions are certainly nothing you need to prepare for ahead of time, unless you have something to hide and you need to get your story straight. Just go through the line, answer honestly and proceed.

That's what I wondered, I have entered countries where I didn't get an automatic visa and I didn't prepare in advance for any questions. You are just supposed to tell the truth.

Just got back from Spain (from US) and was asked where we were going, when we were returning to the US and from which airport we were flying out of to go home.
|
Age can also be a factor. We have had threads here before from young travelers (usually traveling to meet a girl/boy friend) who were questioned and even refused admittance.
A return ticket is a good start, followed by proof of funds and medical insurance. |
