Hi, we have a holiday home and are non residents, we have flights booked for July and airlines may start flying by then, if they do has anybody got any idea if we would be allowed into Spain?

Exceptionally unlikely I'd say. 

Truth be told it wouldn't surprise me in the least if mass leisure travel remained off tbe menu until an effective vaccine has been found and would be passengers required to prove that they had received it.

Protecting public health will always precedence over anybodys two weeks on the Costas and having a holiday home here will make no difference to that.

Well let's wait for someone of importance to announce something instead of what people "think " will happen, them proudly posting their works on a forum

Since nobody knows anything for sure that could be a long wait.

Movington ,equally, surely that statement then implies 'Since nobody knows anything for sure,that could be short wait'?

I'd be interested in that too. But from Australia. Guessing no one knows yet.

Yep......let's just hope that we can get out to lovely Spain in the very near future.  

Unfortunately what will be will be.

Hi I have some tenants who came back last week and they are non residents and they had no checks in Spain, only in Norway and then they only had to show their padron so although officially you have to be residents it doesnt look like they are putting that into practice

Hi Darren, 


This is interesting as I am in Norway and desperately awating to go home to Spain.  I have been told by the Embassy I cannot return, since I do not have permanent residency.  My condo in Spain is the only home I have, as I work at sea for 2 months at the time.   I have been stuck in Norway for over a month now, and need to go home..... how on earth did they get through without a residency card?   And where they not stoppes by the police on the way from the Airport?   Sound like the police is checking everyone in my area of Almoradi/Algorfa...

Do you know?? 

I just need to get home, and will be happy to be quarantened as I get home☺️ 

Kind regards, Thess

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

The main problem of course is that the tourist industry is the main business in Spain , the Costas anyway, without this Spain could seriously become bankrupt. However they need to let people in who have proved legally virus clear in their home countries and the again to be tested on arrival in Spain, not perfect and with the British governments attitude to testing I wouldn't let anyone in from Britain unless the goverment complied with Spanish rules.
