New rules are set to be introduced next month for those who are planning on travelling from Northern Ireland to Spain this summer.
If travelling from the UK and fully vaccinated, you can enter Spain without needing to test or quarantine regardless of whether you are there for work or tourism.
However, new rules that are being introduced in February will mean that your vaccination status must meet the Spanish authorities’ validity period requirements.
According to the GOV.UK website, until February 1, at least 14 days must have passed since being fully vaccinated with both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine before arrival in Spain.
From 1 February onwards, at least 14 days must have passed since being fully vaccinated (with both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine) before arrival in Spain.
Your date(s) of vaccination must be specified and your final dose must have been administered within 270 days prior to travel to Spain.
If you completed your vaccination (with both doses of two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine) more than 270 days prior to travel to Spain, you must be able to show proof of having received a booster jab.
Children under the age of 12 years old do not need to show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain.
Under the Spanish government’s current measures, you can only enter Spain from the UK for tourism purposes if you can show valid proof of meeting the vaccination requirements set out above.
