Passport & Visa

Passport & Visa

Citizens of European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) countries do not need a visa to enter Spain, only a valid ID. Many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and New Zealand, benefit from visa-free entry for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Visitors from visa-exempt countries must hold a valid passport and, starting in late 2025, will need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorisation online before travelling. For those requiring a visa, such as travellers from some Middle-East, African or Asian nations, a Schengen visa must be obtained prior to arrival. All travellers should ensure their passport is valid for at least three months beyond their intended stay.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

Located very close to the African continent, Fuerteventura boasts a unique climate, with temperatures which rarely go below 25 degrees. If you're a heat lover, then the best months to visit this island are July and September, when you can enjoy sunbathing and swimming on the beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura. If you prefer temperatures to be cooler, come between April and June and take advantage of the fresh wind.

Fuerteventura Airport (FUE)

Fuerteventura Airport (FUE)

The Fuerteventura Airport (FUE) is situated mid-way up the island's east coast, 3 kilometres from Puerto del Rosario and 35 kilometres from Corralejo. Bus line 3 of Tiadhe runs from Las Salinas to Puerto del Rosario and vice versa, the bus stops in Caleta de Fuste (El Castillo), Costa de Antigua, El Matorral, and at the airport. From Monday to Saturday, the bus leaves every 30 minutes; on Sundays and public holidays, there's a bus every hour. The journey time from the airport to the main bus station in Puerto del Rosario is 15 minutes. The bus station is located a 5 to 10-minute walk from downtown Puerto del Rosario. Taxis are also available outside the arrivals hall.

Public Transport

Public Transport

Fuerteventura has a good local bus network serving most parts of the island (except parts of the southwest coast). The bus network is primarily used by the locals and may not give you the best flexibility. Renting a car is your best option for navigating the island, as the road network is generally very good. If you are after a more active holiday, mountain bikes can also be hired.
