My son and family are coming over to La zenia next week, just checking that they do not need to complete a Spanish passenger locator form, they have both been  fully vaccinated, I was just checking that the rules haven't been changed recently?

Hi Chris,

Passenger locator forms are definitely no longer required, guaranteed, so no worry there. Proof of vaccination is being checked on a random basis on entry, so best to have the proof incase asked for. Hope they Enjoy La Zenia !

Hi just returned from Murcia, we arrived in Alicante  16/7 they asked for the evidence of Covid vaccinations, but I have to say it was randomly, I took mine in letter form they were from the NHS and the letters cover for 6 month.

I am flying into Alicante with BA on Monday and had to upload my covid vaccination proof and do a  Spth before it would let me proceed. I wasn't expecting that at all.

My son & his wife are going this week not had 3 rd jab so will do test before leaving UK & 14 yrs old grandson.

But does 12 yr old granddaughter have to do a locator form  ? 

Unsure what to advise them ? 

Thanks all

Hi CED,

        anyone 12 and over has to complete the Spanish Health form if they do not meet the vaccination requirements, see link below for details. Your granddaughter will have to complete the form if she is not fully vaccinated.

Hi Chris,

By "fully vaccinated", do you mean 2 doses, or have they had the booster as well?  There is no expiry date on the booster, so if they've had that, they don't need to complete the Spanish Health Form.  However, if they haven't had the booster and their second vaccine dose was administered more than 270 days prior to arriving in Spain, then they do need to complete the Spth.

Kind regards,

Kim
