Holidaymakers from the UK heading to Spain may have to prove they have around £85 to spend per day of their trip.
As reported by the Daily Express, travellers may also be asked to show a number of other documents.
The UK Foreign Office is reported to have said: "At Spanish border control, you may need to show a return or onward ticket; show you have enough money for your stay; show proof of accommodation for your stay, for example, a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (eg second home), or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family.

"The Spanish government has clarified that the ‘carta de invitation’ is one of the options available to prove that you have accommodation if staying with friends or family.”
According to the Express, tourists from the UK may be asked to present suitable evidence that they have at least €100 (£85.22) to spend per day of the holiday as well as a further minimum of €900 (£766.94) or its legal equivalent in foreign currency.
The Spanish Ministry del Interior is reported to have said: "Foreigners from third countries must prove if required to do so by the officials in charge of controlling the entry of people into Spanish territory, that they have economic resources for entering the country, through cash, traveller’s cheques, payment letters, or credit cards, which must also be proven to have sufficient funds available on them."
