COVID-19: what you need to know when travelling to Spain

Vaccination requirements for Spain

Fully vaccinated:

If you’re fully vaccinated (with both doses of a 2-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine) and travelling from the UK or US, you can enter Spain without needing to test or quarantine.

The date of your last vaccination should be no more than 270 days prior to travel. If your second vaccination was more than 270 days prior to your experience you will need to get your booster jab.

At least 14 days must have passed since you became fully vaccinated before you arrive in Spain. Booster jabs can be administered at any time prior to travel to Spain.

Not fully vaccinated:

You can enter Spain if you’re not fully vaccinated but have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months. Testing does not apply for entry.

You'll need to show a COVID-19 recovery record or a recovery certificate, issued by a relevant health authority, to certify your COVID-19 status.

At least 11 days must have passed since you first tested positive. The recovery record or certificate will be valid for 180 days from the date of the positive test.

If you’re travelling from outside of the UK or US, please check the relevant entry requirements for your journey.
