Schengen Business Visa for MWC Barcelona 2027 (Mobile World Congress)
Spain is part of the Schengen Area, so Indian business visitors apply for a Schengen Business Visa (short-stay, Type C) through the country’s mission in India or its authorised visa partner. Build a consistent file and apply early — appointment slots can be limited around major fairs.
Commonly required documents
- Passport valid at least 3 months beyond the trip, with 2 blank pages
- Completed Schengen visa application form
- Recent Schengen-specification photographs
- Expo ticket or registration confirmation
- Invitation or confirmation letter from the organiser or a business partner
- Indian employer’s covering letter and company registration proof
- Confirmed flight reservation and hotel booking
- Travel medical insurance covering the Schengen Area (minimum €30,000)
- Recent bank statements, salary slips and income-tax returns
Important
An invitation letter and expo registration support an application but do not guarantee approval, and processing times are not fixed. The final decision rests with the Schengen country’s authorities.
How to register
- Register online. Register as a trade visitor on the official MWC Barcelona website with your professional and company details, and save your confirmation or e-badge.
- Request a letter for your visa file. Where the organiser offers a visa-support or invitation-letter service for registered visitors, request it early and keep it with your application documents.
- Carry business identification. Bring your passport, registration confirmation, an employer covering letter and business cards to the venue.
