Spain announces that citizens of nine CARICOM member states no longer need visas for short stays in the European country. The decision is part of Spain’s designation of 60 countries whose nationals are allowed visa-free entry, announced on Tuesday, according to reporting from both outlets. The announcements cite a statement from Spain’s ministry setting out the list of countries that benefit from the change. Both sources describe the measure as affecting nine Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries, aligning them with other nations worldwide that Spain has placed under visa-free travel rules.
While the reports confirm the number of CARICOM countries included and that visa requirements are removed for eligible travellers, they do not provide further operational details in the excerpts provided, such as the exact duration of permitted stays or the implementation timeline beyond the announcement date. The coverage therefore focuses on the Spanish government’s publication of the updated visa-free list and the inclusion of the nine CARICOM countries.
