Hi my husband hasn't had his booster and has past the 270 day period with his two vaccinations. We have residencia and TIE . We are in the UK seeing family after two years... and unsure if he needs a negative test to re-enter Spain?? Have searched everywhere.... Many thanks in advance.

Hi Kew22,
Yes, as a Spanish resident, your husband falls into the "Exemptions" group, meaning that, in place of a booster jab, he can provide a negative test result instead:
"Entry requirements may vary if your reason for travel to Spain falls into one of the categories listed as ‘essential’ - section ‘a’ to ‘i’ - on the Spanish Ministry of Health Travel and COVID-19 page. This includes residents of Spain. If you are an EU citizen, an accompanying family member of an EU citizen, including UK citizens and other non-EU citizens who are travelling with EU family members (including for tourism), a resident of Spain, or if one of the other exemptions listed applies to you, you are permitted to present documentation certifying that you have undertaken a COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar) within 72 hours prior to arrival in Spain, or an antigen test taken within 24 hours of arrival, and tested negative."

You both need to show your Covid vaccination certificates and also complete the Spanish health control form:
Kind regards,
Kim
