Spain Entry Travel Requirements for British Travellers

Spain has prolonged its prohibition on non-vaccinated non-EU visitors for another month, until 15th June.

Travelers from the United Kingdom and the United States must be completely vaccinated, as defined above: with a vaccine certificate 14 days after the last dosage. The NHS COVID Pass will be accepted as proof by the Spanish authorities.

Alternatively, British tourists who have recovered from the virus within the last six months can present credible confirmation.

Although no tests are required of double-jabbed British citizens, the UK Foreign Office warns that all visitors may be subject to further procedures at the point of entry.

According to Spain’s Border Health Controls page, if an airport temperature check (for example) raises concerns, travelers may be contacted and obliged to do a PCR test up to 48 hours after arrival.

Vaccinated and recently recovered British citizens are no longer required to complete the Health Control Form.

Children under the age of 12 are exempt from having to provide proof of immunization or undertake any testing. This rule applies across Spain, including the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands.

Those aged 12 to 17 are no longer need to be completely vaccinated and can enter Spain with a negative PCR (or other NAAT) test result obtained within 72 hours of arrival. Antigen testing is not permitted.

Alternatively, fully vaccinated British youngsters aged 12 to 15 can use an NHS COVID Pass letter to verify their immunity for overseas travel. Without this documentation, travelers aged 12 and up must fill out the Health Control Form within 48 hours of arriving in Spain.
