Hi everyone. I have started completing the form, ready for when we fly over this coming Friday, but am having a problem with the address for my apartment. In the section where you have to give the address of where you will be staying, the drop down box does not include my address in Lomas de Campoamor, Orihuela Costa. The nearest place I know is Orihuela, which is around 18 miles away.   

Any guidance would be most welcome - I don’t want any problems when I arrive at Murcia Airport because I haven’t completed the form correctly - and my Spanish is definitely not up to it!

Please check the Gov.uk site.

I am sure when reading a couple of days ago that it said that your full address isn't necessary.

So in your case, Lomas de Campoamar, Orihuela Costa would suffice.

Hi Ken 

Thank you for getting back to me. The problem is, you have to choose one of the towns from the drop down box; so I have chosen San Miguel de Salinas, purely because I know it is only about 5 miles away from my apartment, but definitely not my address!   

None of the nearby places like Villamartin, Playa Flamenca, La Zenia, Cabo Roig etc. are listed, so I was wondering if anyone else nearby has completed the form and what town they chose from the options given. 

Thanks again for replying.

Ok Jackie, understand.

I think that the fact that Gov.uk doesn't state a need for a specific address then you are doing the only thing possible and they will have plenty of other info on the locator form anyway.

I think I may not have been clear in my original post, this is the Spanish Health Control Form you have to complete to get into Spain, not the UK Locator Form to be completed to get back into the UK. I will need a holiday to get over it all at this rate 🤣🤣

I had this problem the last time I travelled. The address seems To vary depending on the reason you need it!! On the site you need to know the region, you will have a district in your address and then a region. Sorry I can't remember the Spanish terms. If you Google your address and ask for postal address or region you will probably get what you need. I bought my house and didn't have the required address on any of my documentation but did have several options!

Hi Martha. Thank you so much - that worked.  

For others’ information, in case you have the same problem, I Googled and found postalcode.globefeed.com, typed in Lomas de Campoamor and got the full postal address. 

Thank you once again. I can stop worrying now and look forward to getting back to my apartment after 16 months away. Just hoping others on the flight will have done their free NHS rapid test before they go, as we will be doing.
