France to Spain visa requirements

No visa required. France and Spain are both EU and Schengen members, so French citizens may enter Spain under EU free movement with a valid French passport or national identity card. A French citizen needs no visa to visit or move to Spain. Both countries are EU members and part of the Schengen Area, so French nationals exercise the EU right of free movement and may travel with a valid passport or national identity card (CNI). Your Europe says the travel document must be valid on the day of travel; France Diplomatie also notes that some French CNIs issued to adults from 1 January 2004 through 31 December 2013 remain valid for five years beyond the printed expiry, while recommending a valid passport where possible if the card appears expired. The Schengen 90/180-day limit does not apply to EU citizens, and French citizens do not need EES registration or ETIAS because those systems apply to non-EU short-stay travellers. There are normally no routine checks at the France-Spain internal Schengen border, but identity checks and temporary border controls remain possible, so carry your passport or ID. If you will reside in Spain for more than three months, apply in person for the EU citizen registration certificate within three months of entry; Spain issues it immediately and the current National Police fee table lists EUR 12 for the resident EU registration certificate.
