President Angel Victor Torres signed a decree confirming the change on Wednesday (9 December), which came into force on Thursday (10 December).
Previously, arrivals into the Canaries – like those heading to mainland Spain – had been required to provide evidence of a negative PCR test taken up to 72 hours prior to departure.
PCR tests will continue to be accepted as proof of Covid-negative status.
The move will make it cheaper for holidaymakers hoping to get away over the Christmas and New Year period to take advantage of the government’s quarantine-free travel corridor with the Canaries.
