VONO DE VILHENA, Daniela; DOMINGO I VALLS, Andreu  e  BEDOYA, María Helena. Impact of migratory control through Schengen visa on Latin American migration toward Spain. Pap. poblac [online]. 2008, vol.14, n.58, pp.97-126. ISSN 2448-7147.

In this article we examine the effects of immigration control using visa requirement on the Latin Americans flows into Spain. By analyzing data from the Residential Variation Statistics, this paper argues that fluctuations in the number of immigrants' flows not necessarily occur according to the control policy of the receiving country. Furthermore, it suggests that the requirement of visa to certain Latin American nationalities for entry into Spain had different impacts on these movements and on its sociodemographic characteristics over the years, specifically on age and sex structures.
