    Before
    …and have not been checked for Spain yet.
    After
    Spain is a party to the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic but not to the 1968 Vienna one, so the International Driving Permit it is bound to recognize is the 1949 Geneva version. A permit issued under the 1968 Vienna Convention carries no treaty obligation here. No official source we could read states whether a permit is required in addition to a national license, or for how long a foreign license may be used.

    After
    90 days in any rolling 180-day period, counted across the whole Schengen Area rather than per country. Leaving and coming back does not reset the allowance: the Schengen Borders Code counts the 180-day period preceding each day of stay, so days already spent anywhere in the area during that period still count against the 90.

  18. Spain

    around 60 visa-exempt nationalities…

    Spain is part of the Schengen Area: EU and EFTA citizens enter freely, nationals of the countries on the EU's visa-exempt list can stay 90 days in any 180-day period (the ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation), and everyone else needs a Schengen short-stay visa costing €90.

  19. South Sudan

    FAQ: Can I use the South Sudan eVisa at land borders?

    After
    No official source we could read describes a visa on arrival. The eVisa portal says you apply and pay online, download the e-visa and present it to the visa officer at the port of entry, and the UK Foreign Office says you can apply online or through a South Sudanese embassy.
