A little-known travel rule means holidaymakers heading to Spain and several other European countries must be able to show they have sufficient funds for the duration of their stay - working out at £93 a day. It is is part of the Schengen Borders Code, which has been signed by 27 countries, including Portugal, Greece, and Italy.
It states that travellers from outside the European Union must demonstrate sufficient funds to enter the country. The required amount varies between destinations.
Spain defines ‘sufficient financial means’ as access to €109 (£93) per person, per day, Birmingham Live reports. For a family of five, this equates to €545 per day or €7,630 for a two-week holiday in Spain.
