Travel Requirements

What are the new rules for international travel?

From 18th March 2022, all travellers (regardless of vaccination status) arriving in the UK:

  • Do not need to take any COVID-19 tests before you travel or after you arrive
  • Do not need to fill in a UK passenger locator form
  • Do not need to quarantine when you arrive

Other countries may have rules about what you need to do to leave the country to travel to the UK. You should check travel advice for the country you are travelling from.

The above applies for travelling to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Travel Requirements

The below information was last updated on 23/05/2022 and Solmar Villas will regularly update this information once the Government makes further announcements. 

For more information please visit the FCDO website

What are the entry requirements for my destination?

Where we have referenced 'PCR test' - a PCR test result will be required. Where we have referenced 'Covid' test then either a PCR, NEAR, LAMP or TMA test is acceptable.

To view more information on COVID testing and proof of vaccination please click here.

Canary Islands

To travel to the Canary Islands, you must show valid proof of one of the following: 

  • being fully vaccinated (with both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a one-dose vaccine) at least 14 days prior to arrival in Spain (date(s) of vaccination must be specified). See ‘If you’re fully vaccinated’.
  • a negative COVID-19 test: either a PCR taken within 72 hours prior to departure, or an antigen test taken within 24 hours prior to departure.
  • having recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months. You can also use a medical certificate or recovery record to prove your COVID-19 status on entry to Spain.

If you’re fully vaccinated

If you’re fully vaccinated and travelling from the UK, you can enter Spain without needing to test or quarantine regardless of your reason for travel.

Your vaccination status must meet the Spanish authorities’ validity period requirements:

  • Your vaccination status must meet the Spanish authorities’ validity period requirements.
  • At least 14 days must have passed since being fully vaccinated (with both doses of a 2-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 a 2-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.
  • There is no requirement for 14 days to have passed between receiving your booster jab and entering Spain.
  • Booster jabs can be administered at any time prior to travel to Spain.
  • There is currently no expiry date for booster jabs.
  • Only vaccines authorised by the European Medicines Agency or by the World Health Organisation are accepted.
  • Children under the age of 12 years old do not need to show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain.

If you’re not fully vaccinated

If you’re not fully vaccinated, you can enter Spain presenting one of the following documents:

  • a negative COVID-19 test: either a PCR taken within 72 hours prior to departure, or an antigen test taken within 24 hours prior to departure.
  • proof of having recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months. You can also use a medical certificate or recovery record to prove your COVID-19 status on entry to Spain. See ‘If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year’.

Travellers from the UK who can either show proof of being fully vaccinated, or of having recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, or who are aged under 12 years old, do not need to complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form. Everyone else must complete Spain’s Travel Health Control form no more than 48 hours before travel to Spain.

If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year:

If you’re travelling to Spain for tourism purposes and have recovered from prior COVID-19 infection in the last 6 months, you can use the UK proof of COVID-19 recovery record or a recovery certificate issued by a relevant health authority or medical service to certify your COVID-19 status.

At least 11 days must have passed since your first positive COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test. The recovery record or certificate will be valid for 180 days from the date of the positive test and must include the following information:

  • your full name
  • the date you first tested positive for COVID-19
  • the type of test administered (e.g. COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test)
  • the name of the country issuing the recovery record or certificate
  • documentary proof of the diagnostic test from which the Recovery Certificate is derived

Exemptions:

There are no exemptions to Spain’s entry requirements
