Hi All, 

Having arrived in Moraira we are finding conflicting information regarding PCR or Antigen tests being acceptable for flying back to the UK. We know the UK government are advising we take a PCR test however several people are saying that an Antigen tests are allowed. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Les

Hi Les,

I flew back to the U.K. yesterday having had the antigen test at IMED in Teulada. No problem at all.

Antigen tests are acceptable. We booked online at IMED Tuelada excellent service, we have used them a few times now. €40 and results very quick, within 30 mins.

Hi We are flying from UK to Alicante next week and wanted to ask where we get passenger locator form. We have NHS app with proof of both jabs. Is this sufficient proof along with locator form as will print off from there. Concerned about getting to airport without correct info. We booked with Ryanair from Bournemouth. Thanks in advance.

That’s the link for the Spanish health form you will need to complete this 48 hrs before travel they will send you a QR code you will also need your nhs proof of vaccination with printed forms or iPhone, do both to be safe. The link to go back to uk can be found on the GOV. UK site
