French Embassy & Consulates in Spain

At Calle de Salustiano Olózaga 9, 28001 Madrid, the French embassy represents France towards Spain. Its phone number and website are on its page.

France also has 4 consulates general in Seville, Madrid, Bilbao and Barcelona; its work is consular: passports and documents for its own citizens and, often, visas for visitors.

France has 5 honorary consulates in Spain, in Málaga, Zaragoza, Vigo, Valladolid and A Coruña; honorary consulates handle emergencies and simple certifications rather than visas or passports.

As Spain and France both belong to the European free movement area, Spanish citizens need only a valid ID card or passport for France.

In return, Spain has 19 missions in France, including its embassy in Paris.
