Spain

If you’re fully vaccinated, you will no longer have to fill out the health form, provided you have a digital certificate verifying your vaccination status. Before, all travellers heading to Spain had to fill out a pre-travel form 48 hours before departure.

To be considered fully vaccinated, you’ll need to have completed a full vaccination course at least 14 days before you travel. If you were double jabbed more than nine months before travelling to Spain, you won’t be considered fully vaccinated unless you’ve received a booster jab.

Spain has also eased its restrictions for teens, with children aged 12-17 allowed to visit if they are unvaccinated, provided they have proof of a negative COVID test. If you’re visiting with proof of COVID recovery, you’ll still be required to have the health form if you want to enter the holiday hotspot.

It’s worth noting that currently, Spain hasn’t reopened to unvaccinated Brits unless they can show proof of recent Covid recovery.

Canary Islands

If you want to jet off to the Canary Islands, you’ll need to fill out a control form, which can be done digitally. If you are travelling on a cruise ship, this is the form you need to complete.

You need to prove you’re fully vaccinated by showing a vaccination certificate, but children under 12-years-old are exempt from this. You can also show a Certificate of recovery.

Passengers aged between 12 and 17 can submit a negative PCR test, performed 72 hours prior to arrival, if they are not fully vaccinated.

Balearic Islands

To enter the Balearic Islands you must complete a health check form. This applies to everyone regardless of vaccination status.

Passengers must present a certificate or document proving they’ve been fully vaccinated, but no more than nine months must have passed to be considered fully vaccinated. A negative COVID-19 test or certificate of recovery is not accepted for Brits travelling to the Balearic Islands.
