Visas needed to enter Spain
By
LES BLOXHAM,
travel editor
Soccer fans planning to visit Spain for the World Cup series in July must obtain their visas in advance: the Spanish authorities will not issue them on arrival at points of entry. The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised travel agents to ensure that clients bound for Spain are issued with the appropriate visas before leaving New Zealand.
Until a few years ago, Spanish immigration officers were willing to grant ‘on-the-spot’ visas to holders of New Zealand passports, but that convenient arrangement ended in 1973 when the Spanish Government tightened its immigration procedures. However, according to the Nfew Zealand Ministry, the revised visa requirement appears not to be widely known among travellers: there have even been unfortunate instances of New Zealanders arriving in Spain without visas and being refused entry.
