Spain's full visa-free country list
The 60 countries featured on Spain's visa-free entry list are: Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Andorra, United Arab Emirates, Antigua and Barbuda, Albania, Argentina, Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Barbados, Brunei, Brazil, Bahamas, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica, Micronesia, Grenada, Georgia, Guatemala, Honduras, Israel, Japan, Kiribati, Saint Kitts and Nevis, South Korea, Saint Lucia, Monaco, Moldova, Montenegro and Marshall Islands.

Notably, no African country features on the visa-free list, meaning nationals from across the continent are required to apply for a visa before travelling to Spain.
Visa requirements still apply to many nations
Alongside the visa-free list, Spain also maintains a separate and extensive catalogue of countries whose citizens must secure a visa prior to entry.
The Spanish government has made both lists publicly accessible to help foreign nationals understand their entry requirements well ahead of any planned travel.
The publication of Spain's list comes as several countries have been making their own visa waiver arrangements more transparent, with governments increasingly providing accessible online resources to simplify international travel information.
Germany lists countries eligible for visa-free travel
In a related development, YEN.com.gh reported that Germany has published a list of 62 countries whose citizens are eligible to travel to the country visa-free for up to 90 days in 2026.
The list, published on the German Federal Foreign Office website, forms part of a 190-country master list that specifies, by passport, which nationalities require a visa and which do not for short-term visits.
Travellers from these visa-exempt countries may enter Germany for tourism, family visits, or business trips. However, they are not permitted to work and may stay for a maximum of 90 days.
