Brits heading to Spain need three extra documents for e-gates

British tourists heading to Spain this summer must have three additional documents ready with them for when they arrive to use e-gates, the Foreign Office has said in updated advice on the popular destination's entry rules.

UK citizens are now permitted to use the e-gates at Spanish border control if “instructed to do so by airport staff”, the government body says, but Brits entering the country will now need proof of a return or onward ticket, enough money for their stay, and proof that they have somewhere to stay in Spain.

A report in The Mirror states that the proof required includes hotel booking confirmations, proof of address if visiting your own property (e.g, a second home), or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family. Visitors will also need to prove they meet the Covid-19 entry requirements.
