I filled out the form I got on the uk Government website but also the one on the Spanish website. At Stansted they asked if I had the UK one, in Spain they asked me for the Spanish one!

There is a Black & White form to fill in all your data which airlines are currently sending to their passengers, or go on www.gov.uk, and which you can print out and take them with you. Remember one form for each person. At Alica...

...nte there were people ranting about filling in more than one for a family.  Maybe if there are children under 18 it can all be on one form, but I don’t think so.

The other more colourful one can be found on www.spth.gob.es. Fill this is and you will obtain a QR code which will be scanned at the airport on arrival. 

I wasn’t getting very far with this one until someone mentioned that they couldn’t go further than the request as they had an iPhone! I wasn’t trying with an iPhone but with an iPad. As soon as I switched to a tablet, I completed the request and received their reply with the QR Code. So maybe it was true, maybe I’m just no good at these more technical things, or just plain silly but I got there eventually. 😃

Hope this is all clear.  Good luck.

You stare an English and Spanish one. Presumably Spanish one handed in at Alicante upon landing and English one on arrival in uk upon arrival?

Just to complete the trip info  :  Flown  home to Gatwick today. Alicante airport was busier but by no means crowded, duty free, Costa coffee and Eat were open.   Easyjet flight was even emptier than on way out with just 80 passengers so plenty of room on plane.  ( Appare...

...ntly they were expecting 189 passengers but assumed some may not have been able to get an outward flight??).  Again boarded in groups of rows from rear and disembarked row by row from front, only standing to retrieve items from overhead lockers when row in front had left. Repeatedly reminded by crew to wear masks at all times .  In flight trolly service sold reduced range of cold items.

Landed 30 minutes early at Gatwick.  Only ones at passport control. Had completed on line contact form but was not asked for it nor saw any means for one to be completed in Gatwick.  Perhaps they are no longer required?
