Hi all. Can anyone help me?. 

My wife and I are booked to fly to Alicante on the 22nd May in order to see how the work is going at our house on the Urb. However, there is no clear info either on the Spanish consulate website or from the FCO as to whether our trip will be thwarted when we arrive at Alicante by the border guard...

...s. We are not coming for a holiday, we are coming to check work carried out at our house, buy more materials and generally sort out stuff etc etc. Has anyone got any idea as to whether we will be allowed in? will I need to bring deeds to the house or contract with the builder to prove we are having work done? Hope someone can help.

Kind Regards

Steve

Hi Steve: my husband and I traveled into Alicante airport about 2 weeks ago from the Republic of Ireland and we encountered no obstacles with the Alicante airport customs, police or any other airport personnel. We equally had lots of documentation providing evidence for our trip, house purchase, ...

Hi Steve. All ok now with Spain letting holiday makers in from 24th May and no PCR required  

Previously we were in the same position as you with a house over there and works needing to be scheduled

We got a signed letter from our estate agent to say that there was a broken water pipe at the house and urgent works needed. we are going into alicante  

Your contract and deeds should have been enough to get into the country according to the rules. However you are at the mercy of whoever us at the border 

My friend who had a holiday home in Spain went on the ferry from the uk with her deeds and letter from agent. She was stopped by police on the road near to Almeria when Spain was in partial lockdown. The letter and deeds were good enough then and they were able to continue their journey. 

Thankfully we now don’t have this worry. Good to know for the future. Heaven forbid.

Hello I recently posted that me and my partner we’re denied boarding a flight 

With Ryanair because so many people have been refused entry at Alicante and sent back on the plane they have decided to check reasons to fly themselves ?

Ryanair checked our paperwork at the baggage control desk on Sunday the 16th

Of May and refused to let us board, even though I have partial residency and a letter

From my solicitor saying that the Spanish border control had copies of so that 

I would not have any problems ? But Ryanair did not have the same information ?

It turns out that only people with full residency can fly to Spain ?

This all changed between the 13th of May and the 16th of May ?

I would advise if you don’t have full residency don’t fly until Spain is on the Green 

List. Hope this helps you.

Hello, is there an official link to check what kind of testing is required, I assume lateral flow quick test will do?

Thank you

If you have nothing to hide like me you don't care if they do track you, do people not realise that they already have us all under surveillance.
