Spain changes covid travel rules for holidaymakers again

The UK Foreign Office has updated its health advice for people travelling to Spain.

Over the summer, Spain dropped a number of its coronavirus restrictions in a bid to boost tourism again. Fully-vaccinated travellers can enter the country without taking a test.

Previously, those who were not fully-vaccinated were not allowed to visit Spain. But in May, the rules changed to that this group of people would instead have to show a negative test on arrival.

At the time, María Reyes Maroto, Spain’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism, said: "We are going to stop requiring the vaccination certificate that could be discouraging tourists from outside the European Union from visiting us".

While the use of face masks is still mandatory on public transport, and in any medical or care settings, the Spanish government has just dropped another covid rule.

People travelling to Spain will no longer be required to complete a health control form prior to travel. This applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers.

Gov.uk advice continues: "You may be subject to additional checks at the point of entry including a temperature check, visual health assessment, or testing on arrival. Passengers may also be contacted and required to undertake a COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar) at any point up to 48 hours after their arrival in Spain."
