About this list. Visa types from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs consular pages (exteriores.gob.es): the Islamabad embassy's national visa pages plus the ministry's consular service pages, which list every national visa; the pages for researcher, highly qualified worker, entrepreneur, remote work, work-permit-exempt and Spanish-family visas are read through the Mexico consulate's page, because the Islamabad version needs a country selection that loads with JavaScript. Spain has no job-search visa on the national list. No humanitarian visa is described on these pages. Still missing: a Pakistan-specific page for those seven visas, and the Ministry of Inclusion site (inclusion.gob.es), which refuses automated fetches (403). Quoted facts are recorded for all 16 routes (39 facts); fees are missing for the routes read through the Mexico consulate's page (it gives no amount), and funds are given as percentages of IPREM or the minimum wage, not euro amounts.
