The news comes after Spain said it would allow UK passport holders to use automatic e-gates. UK arrivals must still get their passport stamped manually even if they use the e-gates to enter Spain.
According to the Express, the UK Foreign Office stated: "At Spanish border control, you may need to show a return or onward ticket; show you have enough money for your stay; show proof of accommodation for your stay, for example, a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (eg second home), or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family."
It added: "The Spanish government has clarified that the ‘carta de invitation’ is one of the options available to prove that you have accommodation if staying with friends or family.”
Visitors from the UK may be asked to prove they have at least €100 (£85.22) to spend in Spain per day, and a further minimum of €900 (£766.94), or its legal equivalent in foreign currency.
British tourists must also check their passport is stamped if they enter or exit the EU Schengen area through Spain as a visitor. UK Foreign Office guidelines stated: "Border guards will use passport stamps to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area.
"If relevant entry or exit stamps are not in your passport, border guards will presume that you have overstayed your visa-free limit."
