Spain holidays: FCDO issues new update on vaccine and testing rules for travel | Travel News | Travel
What are the rules for unvaccinated Britons?
Under the Spanish government’s current measures, you can only enter Spain from the UK for tourism purposes if you can show valid proof of being fully vaccinated.
However, there are some exceptions for those who are travelling for “essential” reasons as set out by Spanish authorities.
This includes people who are residents of Spain, EU citizens, or accompanying a family member who is an EU citizen.
In these circumstances, you will be required to present proof of a negative COVID-19 nucleic aid application test, such as. PCR, TMA LAMP or NEART test, within 72 hours of arrival in Spain.
Negative antigen tests taken within 24 hours of arrival are also accepted.
The FCDO adds: “British travellers who are resident in Spain should be prepared to show Spanish border authorities proof of residency on arrival.”
Children under the age of 12 are not expected to show proof of being fully vaccinated or evidence of a diagnostic test taken prior to arrival.
