Hi. Filipina based in Bahrain, planning to travel to Peru this April via BAH–MAD–LIM.

Just want to check if I need a transit visa for Madrid?

    Are you on one airline/codeshare airlines that can check bags through? Most likely you won’t need a visa unless you plan to leave the airport, since you are flying Non Schengen to Non Schengen.

    For what its worth, I’d say just get a visa anyway. Seems a better choice to go and see the sights for the day, rather than twiddling your thumbs for 10 hours at the airport

  3. You do not need a transit visa, but it would be a good investment to have a Schengen visa so you can go out. There’s not much to do at Barajas even if Terminal 4 is the biggest terminal, and you’d be better served by going out and seeing a bit of Madrid before flying on to Lima.

  4. Are you flying Business class? Iberia has a nice lounge but outside of that, you do not want to be in the airport for 10 hours. Recommend applying for the visa and grabbing some tapas in Madrid!
