Citizenship That Makes America More Accessible
With a Spanish passport, you acquire the status of an EU citizen, significantly expanding your international travel possibilities. Spanish passport holders experience a much simpler interaction with the U.S. visa system — obtaining short-term and long-term stay permits in the country becomes more predictable, and participation in the Visa Waiver Program gives you the prospect of entering the U.S. via ESTA without the standard visa procedure.
Advantages when applying for U.S. visas
- Spain is a member of the EU and NATO, which creates a high level of trust from U.S. consulates towards Spanish citizens
- Applicants with stable ties to the European space — such as employment, business, property, or family — are considered less risky
Conditions for obtaining a B1/B2 visa for travel and business meetings
- Spanish citizens find it easier to confirm stable ties with the country of residence due to tax residency, assets, or contracts in the EU
- The likelihood of obtaining a B1/B2 visa for a long-term stay (up to 10 years) is extremely high
- The visa application and document package are generally smaller compared to the requirements for citizens of non-EU countries
Flexibility in Choosing the Place of Application
- Spanish passport holders have the right to apply for a U.S. visa at any U.S. consulate in the EU
- The ability to choose a representation with minimal waiting times significantly speeds up the visa process
- Interviews can be conducted in countries where the communication language is comfortable for you, such as in Germany or Belgium in German or English
Extended access to various visa categories
- Spanish citizens show high approval rates for F (student), J (exchange programs), O, H, L (corporate and specialized) visas
- European qualifications or work experience strengthen the candidate’s position, increasing their chances of success
- The procedure for obtaining visas for family members of the primary applicant is also simplified, including obtaining permits for long-term trips
