Spain clarifies rule as Brits told they may have to prove they can spend £85 a day on holiday

Spain has cemented the rules around tourist's spending money after some feared they wouldn't be allowed to enter the country. Announcing a set of policies, it was reported that tourists may have to prove they have spending money of more than £85 a day to cover their stay.

Reported by the Express, the UK Foreign Office issued the advice in July. Visitors to Spain including those jetting off from Leeds Bradford Airport and Doncaster Sheffield Airport 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.

However, the nation's tourist office said they wanted to reassure visitors they wouldn't have to demonstrate proof of having that amount of money to cover their stay, the LiverpoolEcho reports. A statement on behalf of the Spanish Tourist Office said the rule was not new and had been in force since January 1.
