Spain lifts restrictions for UK travellers
The Spanish Tourist Office in London confirmed that British travellers are allowed to freely enter Spain for non-essential purposes, such as tourism as of 24 May.
A Spanish Ministerial Order includes the United Kingdom in the list of third countries whose residents are not affected by the temporary restriction of non-essential travel.
Also from 24 May 2021, travellers from the United Kingdom will not need to present a negative Covid-19 test certificate as long as they have remained in the UK in the last 14 days.
It is still mandatory for all travellers from the United Kingdom entering Spain (including children of all ages) to fill in a Health Control Form (FCS) which can be found at https://www.spth.gob.es/
Spain remains on the UK’s ‘amber’ list of countries where holiday travel is not recommended.
British citizens are required to self-isolate on arrival back in the UK.
"While it’s positive that Spain is preparing to welcome visitors from the UK, the country remains on the amber list, which means the government is saying people should not be travelling to the country for holidays and anyone returning from Spain will be subject to quarantine and testing," said Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel.
"Holiday companies must ensure they are clearly informing potential customers and those with existing bookings of the risks of travelling to an amber list country as well as explaining their refund and rebooking options."
