Confusion about entry to Spain from 7th June or 30th June - Page 2

Absolutely, Aitch.  I'm sure travellers, flying for example, want to know that their fellow passengers are either fully vaccinated, or have provided a negative test result, as much as those of us living in Spain.

For overland travellers, it's worth noting that France has just introduced a new color-coded "traffic light system" for when it opens to international travellers on 9th June.  The UK is on France's "orange list", which allows vaccinated travellers entry with proof of a negative PCR test; unvaccinated travellers will still only be allowed entry to France for "essential purposes".

Following publication of Spain's latest BOE (official bulletin) yesterday, the Spanish health minister, Carolina Darias (thanks to member Elinspain for the spot 👏) posted this on her Twitter feed last night:

"As of Monday, passengers coming to Spain will be able to access with PCR, antigen test or certificate of vaccination or recovery. The excellent vaccination data allows us to continue moving forward. Spain is a safe destination."

I haven't read the BOE yet, but given the EU's "reminder" to Spain, it will be interesting to see whether travellers from the UK continue to be exempt from Spain's latest rules.

Kind regards,

Kim

Hi Kim,

      thanks for the info (and also thanks to Elinspain), I had not seen the latest requirement from Spain that come into effect on Monday. Will have to keep an eye out to see if a test becomes mandatory for entry.

Up to date information on here

Yes, UK citizens continue to be exempt from needing a PCR or Antigen test to enter Spain. 

Kind regards,

Kim

The EU has set up a very useful app - https://reopen.europa.eu/en/from-to/OTC/ESP  -  of course in Spain there are regional governments which can have their own rules, but hope this information may help!

Just to add to all the confusion, my wife and I both without Residencia arrived on Saturday 5 June and sailed through Alicante arrivals without issue.

Hi John, thanks for the info, could I ask - are you a UK passport holder and did you fly from the UK to Spain?

Thanks,

Aitch.

We are uk passport holders and flew from Manchester. The only document other than our passport that we had to show was the SpTH QR code 

Thanks John, that is good to know. have a great time in Spain!

Aitch.

Easy jet just posted some updates for UK travelers so it may be worth checking iy out. They say if fully vaccinated you may still be required to self isolate when arriving in Spain, if you have no PCR test proof, plus you have to show proof of vaccinations and it must be 14 days after receiving second dose. Hope this helps, just had an update from them
