Spain has lifted all of its Covid travel restrictions for people visiting the country as of today.
The change means that holidaymakers are no longer required to show proof of being fully vaccinated to enter the country, as confirmed on the gov.uk website. They are also not required to show proof of a negative Covid test.
The lifting of restrictions additionally means that travellers don’t have to show any proof of having recovered from Covid within the last six months. Finally, anyone planning a trip to Spain no longer has to complete a health form prior to their arrival as of today.
This means that entry requirements for Spain are now the same for all travellers, regardless of whether or not they are vaccinated against Covid. The news comes just before October half-term, a popular time for jetting off to the likes of Mallorca, Ibiza, Barcelona and Benidorm.
The UK government still advises holidaymakers to follow the advice of local authorities when it comes to protecting themselves and others from the virus. They warned that public health measures - including the use of face masks and rules on crowded spaces - may vary between regions in Spain.
If you have symptoms or test positive for Covid while you are on holiday in Spain, you are not required to self-isolate but are urged to take extra precautionary measures for 10 days after symptoms begin. These include wearing a mask, avoiding crowded spaces, and steering clear of anyone who is at high risk of becoming seriously ill with the virus.
