Hi All,

This is an excerpt from the official Spanish Government statement on Covid entry requirements:

Read more...

Passengers coming from countries or areas of risk, considered as such according to the assessment of their epidemiological situation at all times, will be required to certify any of the following health requirements:

a) Certificate confirming that the holder has received a vaccine against COVID-19 (vaccination certificate).

b) Certificate indicating the result of a Diagnostic Test of Active Infection of COVID-19 that has been carried out by the holder (diagnostic certificate).

c) Certificate confirming that the holder has recovered from COVID-19 (certificate of recovery).

The key word here is ANY, which I read as you can have a), b) or c) but don't need all of them.

We have a holiday booked at the end of Feb and our 14Yr old daughter has only had 1 jab but had Covid last September.

More detailed information is included here - https://www.sanidad.gob.es/en/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov/spth.htm

This info is updated every week.

Best of luck.

Thanks Ian13, that sounds promising!  My granddaughter hasn't had covid so no certificate of recovery and she's still only had 1 vaccination so it would have to be diagnostic test. Is that similar to a PCR test or different? Only the other day they announced  that not only did 12 and ov...

...ers need 2 vaccinations but also needed their booster too. I've also read that Spain doesn't accept proof to fly either. So what you've posted gives us hope. Thanks

I think the booster for the 12 and overs may just be the same as adults and only need the booster if 2nd vaccination was given more than 270 days.

Hi scotslady,

The Spain health ministry has not announced that 12 to 17 year olds are to receive the booster.  Where have you obtained your information?

Hi Ian,

The extract you've quoted appears to be the rules for EU citizens and residents travelling to Spain.  The UK is a Third Country Nation and so the correct rules for UK citizens are detailed in the link you provide - from the landing page, choose the tab "Travel to Spain" and then the link tit...

...led "Entry requirements for entry in Spain from Third Countries" - exception k. applies, which states:

" k. Persons with a vaccination certificate, that the Ministry of Health recognizes for this purpose, after verification by the health authorities, as well as their accompanying minors (under 12 years of age). In the case of persons residing in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland who come directly from the United Kingdom, they must also arrive in Spain with a vaccination certificate as of 1/12/2021."

Covid recovery certificates and negative test results are not included.

Kind regards,
