    My girlfriend is flying from Colombia to Dublin in August. RIght now she is applying for an Irish tourist visa for the 2 weeks she will be here but she was told that she will also need a visa for Spain because she will have to change flight in Madrid or Barcelona.

    Is this true?

    SHe called it a schenge visa but Im not sure what it might be called in English. Does anyone have any previous experience with this. I think it might be because she is from Colombia and a lot of COlombians make their way into Spain and never leave.

    It is called a Shengen visa and it is quite possble that she would require it to transit in Spain.

    You could contact the Spanish Embassy in Dublin for advice perhaps?

    Yes. Thanks a million. Just as we thought. Thanks for the info but as far as I know, she already has all the papers ready to go. They are mostly the same as the ones she needs for the Irish visa.

    The reason I asked was because I HEARD THAT MAYBE SHE DIDNT NEED IT. i WAS JUST CONFIRMING.

    aGAIN THANKS
