Tourist Visa from Kenya to Spain

The Spanish tourist visa is granted to Kenyans who intend to visit Spain for tourism and sightseeing.
Spain is one of the world’s top tourist destinations and is used to welcoming millions of visitors from around the world every year.
A visitor who wants to enter Spain as a tourist requires a short term visa. This short term visa is also known as Schengen (tourist) visa.
This visa is issued for a maximum duration of 90 days.
Here are some required documents for applicants:

Passport that is valid for at least six months after the intended date of travel and three months after scheduled return from travel; with previous passport and two full blank pages to affix the visa
Three colored copies of the data page of the passport.
Two 3.5cm x 4.5cm coloured passport photographs that is not more than 1 month old and with a white background
Pay slips for the past six months.
Personal statement of account for the past six months and that of your company, if you are being sponsored.
General income generated by property, share certificates, bonds, and proof of ties to Kenya (marriage), if any.
Hotel Booking: In the case where you have no one to invite you, you will need a valid hotel booking as proof of accommodation arrangement.
You must show proof of having valid travel insurance with a minimum coverage of EUR 30,000.

Regionalism and religious topics are very sensitive for Spaniards, so be careful about certain discussions.
Make sure you dress accordingly. If you are visiting a sacred place, a monastery or church make sure to dress accordingly to avoid any trouble. Spaniards always follow seasonal fashion rules.
Don’t try to buy anything between 2pm and 4pm. These are the established lunchtime or siesta hours, and apart from the biggest supermarkets and chains, all shops will close at these times.
Do not rush or take punctuality too seriously. Spanish tend to have a very relaxed sense of time, so be patient and just enjoy being in Spain.

Spain is a relatively safe country, but travelers should be cautious of petty crimes.
