How to Obtain a Visa to Attend ICMarkTech in Valencia, Spain

If you are planning to attend the International Conference on Marketing and Technologies (ICMarkTech) in Valencia, Spain, it’s important to know whether you need a visa (VISA) to enter the country. The conference will last between 5 to 7 days, which falls under the short-stay visa category for professional events. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the visa process.

1. Do You Need a Visa to Attend ICMarkTech?

  • Citizens of the European Union (EU) and Schengen Area:
    No visa is required. You only need a valid identification document (ID card or passport).

  • Citizens from Visa-Exempt Countries (e.g., Brazil, USA, Canada):
    No visa is required for stays up to 90 days for tourism or attending events like conferences. However, starting in 2025, you will need to apply for ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System), an electronic travel authorization.

  • Citizens from Countries Requiring a Schengen Visa:
    If your country is not visa-exempt, you will need to apply for a Schengen Short-Stay Visa, which covers participation in conferences and professional events.

2. Type of Visa Required

  • Schengen Short-Stay Visa (Type C):
    This visa allows you to stay in Spain (and other Schengen countries) for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is the appropriate visa for attending ICMarkTech, covering conferences, business meetings, fairs, and academic events.

3. Required Documents for the Visa Application

Valid Passport:

  • Must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from Spain.

Proof of Financial Means:

Pay the Visa Fee:

  • The Schengen visa fee is typically €80, but it may vary depending on your country of residence.

Processing Time:
