Know before you go

Last week, Spain announced travel entry requirements that have been updated as follows:

The complete list of regulations can be found here.

Vaccinated Travelers:

Effective September 6, fully-vaccinated travelers are now required to provide proof of a full vaccination. Children under 12 years of age are exempt.

All vaccinated and non-vaccinated travelers must still complete a Health Control Form and obtain their QR code prior to departure for Spain. It needs to be presented at boarding and upon arrival into Spain.

Non-Vaccinated Travelers:

Non-vaccinated travelers will only be allowed to enter if their reasons for travel meet the essential travel categories set forth by Spain. Non-vaccinated travelers who meet the essential travel exceptions must provide one of the following documents:

A negative COVID-19 NAAT (PCR) test taken within 72 hours of arrival.
A negative COVID-19 antigen (Rapid) test taken within 48 hours of arrival. Children under 12 years of age are will not be required to present a negative test result.
Proof of recovery from COVID-19.

For travelers who are not vaccinated, we recommend that they verify that their reason for travel will continue to allow them to travel to Spain. Fully-vaccinated travelers will continue to be allowed to enter. However, unvaccinated travelers will only be allowed to enter for essential travel.
Non-vaccinated travelers must still complete a Health Control Form and obtain their QR code to be presented at boarding and upon arrival into Spain.

Return to the United States:

All travelers returning to the United States must prevent a negative result from a COVID test taken within 3 days prior to your return. Ask our travel agency for assistance in arranging COVID testing during your trip to Spain to comply with these requirements.
