Visa- and Entry- Requirements for Mallorca
The island of Mallorca belongs to Spain. It is, therefore, part of the European Union and the Schengen agreement. The visa and entry requirements for visitors to Mallorca depend on nationality and intended length of stay.
In addition to passport and visa requirements, you will also need to double-check that you have the right Covid documentation. Please see our Covid page for more information on this.
Passport- and Visa- Requirements for Non-EU / Non-Schengen Nationals
Passport validity
The following passport entry requirements apply to all nationals from non-EU / non-Schengen countries. Your passport needs to fulfil two criteria:
- Valid for 3 months or more after the day you leave Mallorca/Spain. Please check the expiry date of your passport.
AND - Less than 10 years old when you travel to Mallorca/Spain. This is calculated from the date of issue.
These entry requirements are based on the information provided by the European Union. However, some airlines are currently requesting passport validity of 6 months or more at the time of travel, so please double-check your airline’s requirements.
It is important that you check the validity of your passport in good time before you travel, to give you sufficient time to apply for a renewal, should this be necessary.

Please see the European Union website for a full list of countries whose nationals are exempt from the visa requirement.
