UK travellers heading to several European countries this summer are being warned about a little-known rule that requires them to have at least £93 per day in their bank accounts. This requirement applies to each individual, so for a family of four, the total would be £372.
This rule is part of the Schengen Borders Code, which has been signed by 27 countries, including Spain, 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's requirement is set at £93 per day, and other countries have similar regulations.
Spanish officials have been asking visitors to provide proof of a return or onward ticket and pre-booked accommodation, such as a hotel booking confirmation or proof of address if they are visiting friends or staying in their own property.", reports Birmingham Live.
