There will also be multiple traveller data-points that will be shared between the Schengen zone which it is hoped will improve the future security of the bloc. ETIAS will be required for eligible travellers entering Spain starting in early 2025.

ETIAS will cost 7 euros (about $8 or 6 British pounds) for a three-year permit that allows third-country nationals to enter the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.
MORE DETAILS
Spain currently does not have any plans of changing the 90-day rule. Technically, this rule is not under Spanish jurisdiction, as it is a rule that applies to the whole Schengen Area. So even if Spain wanted to change this rule, the change can only be initiated by authorities of the European Union.

From 2024 onwards, there's a new entry requirement. All travelers from non-EU countries who currently enjoy visa-free access to Spain will now need a document called an ETIAS Spain to visit this European treasure and travel within the Schengen area.
MORE DETAILS
Spain is a party to the Schengen Agreement. This means that U.S. citizens may enter Spain for up to 90 days for tourism or business without a visa. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the period of stay.
