Stay on side with officials
FANS travelling to Spain have been warned that they remain subject to Covid-19 vaccine rules on arrival.
Spanish restrictions have largely been dropped but regulations around vaccination or recovery status are still in place.
Here’s what you need to know before travelling …
IF YOU ARE FULLY VACCINATED
Fully vaccinated travellers may enter Spain without the need to quarantine or take a test but you must have proof of vaccination.
Spanish rules define “fully vaccinated” as having received both doses of a two-dose vaccine or a single dose of a one-shot vaccine in the previous 270 days.
Additionally, the rules require 14 days to have passed since completing your vaccination course.
If it’s been more than 270 days since completing your vaccination then proof of a booster dose is required.
Spain accepts the NHS Scotland Covid Status app as proof of vaccination, as well as UK equivalents.
Travellers who are fully vaccinated do not need to complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form.
IF YOU’RE NOT FULLY VACCINATED
If you’ve not received a full Covid-19 vaccine dose or your vaccination record is no longer valid, Spain demands you show you have recovered from the virus in the past six months.
Travellers from the UK can present a valid proof of recovery record via the NHS app or through a certificate issued by a health authority.
At least 11 days must have passed since you last tested positive for Covid-19 for the proof to be accepted.
RULES FOR CHILDREN
Children under 12 are not subject to any checks prior to or upon arrival in Spain.
Children aged 12 to 17, even if not vaccinated, can gain entry by presenting proof of a negative PCR test in the previous 72 hours.
