BY LAND

Elche is connected to the rest of the Mediterranean coast and to Europe by the A-7 motorway (European Route E – 15). Another of the main routes for long-distance journeys is the N – 330 highway of the State Network, which links the province of Alicante with the centre of the Peninsula. In addition, there is a network of connecting roads such as N – 340, between Alicante, Elche and Murcia, which passes through Orihuela, and also the N-332 coastal road, which unites Elche’s coastal region with other tourist areas. A motorway from Alicante to Cartagena (A-32), which connects Elche with both cities, was recently inaugurated.

Train and bus

Elche is located at the mid-point on the local train line which links Alicante and Murcia, and which boasts a high frequency service which facilitates connections to any point on the Spanish mainland. The railway, which traverses the city by an underground route, has two passenger stations in the city centre and a stopping point in the town of Torrellano. A project for the construction of a Madrid-Alicante high-speed AVE link in the future provides the prospect of a service to Elche, and will thereby strengthen the city´s communication network.

Railway stations in Elche

Elche also has a modern bus station located adjacent to the railway station, with regular services both to nearby towns as well as to major national and international destinations.

Third-country nationals require a national visa when they are going to stay in Spain for more than 90 days (in any 180-day period) for the purposes of work, study or establishing their residence. They also need a national visa when moving to Spain to work for a period of under 90 days.

Citizens of the European Union or of the States of the European Economic Area or Switzerland do not need a visa to establish their residence in Spain or for long-term studies or to work. However, once in Spain, they must be entered on the Register for Citizens of the Union. Family members accompanying them, and who benefit from the right to free movement, must apply for a residence permit in Spain. If they need a stay visa because of their nationality, they must obtain a visa for family members of a citizen of the Union (see section «Visas for family members of a citizen of the Union​»).

The national visa allows the holder to travel to Spain and to transit through and move around the territory of any Schengen State for a maximum of 90 days. However, it does not automatically entitle them to enter the Schengen area. The border authorities can refuse entry if not all entry requirements are met (See section «Conditions for entry into Spain»).
