Spains Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, presented at FITUR the Digital Covid Certificate approved by the EU with the objective of reactivating tourism and the European economy.
From 24th May, tourists residing in the UK and Japan will be able to travel to Spain without requiring a negative PCR test or proof of vaccination. These two countries join the already existing list of safe countries, which also includes Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Rwanda, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand and China (including the administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao).
From 7th June, tourists from non-EU countries not included in the previous list (annexed in Order INT/484/2021 of 19 May) will be able to travel to Spain if they have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days before their trip. Paper vaccination certificates issued in Spanish or English will be accepted providing that the vaccine administered is one of those authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or one of those included in the WHO’s Emergency Use Listing. Unvaccinated minors in the same family unit may enter with a negative PCR test (children under 6 years of age do not need to be tested). The vaccination certificate or PCR of minors must be shown on arrival. The entry of vaccinated citizens from non-EU countries without additional health requirements may be reversed in the event of a worsening of the epidemiological situation in the country of origin or circulation of variants.
Also from 7th June, EU citizens with a 2-dose series completed at least 14 days prior to travel will be able to enter Spain without a PCR test even if their countries are listed as orange, red or dark red according to the ECDC’s map (vaccines should have been authorised by EMA or from the WHO’S Emergency Listing). These measures also applies to those travellers with proof of having overcome the disease. Once the EU COVID Digital Certificate comes into force, these means of proof will also be accepted in digital format. Unvaccinated minors in the same family unit may enter with a negative PCR test (children under 6 years of age do not need to be tested).
Spain will be delighted to welcome tourists who decide to visit the country.
