The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Spain to reflect the country’s new pre-travel Covid testing requirements.

Spain’s health ministry last week confirmed all arrivals from high Covid-risk countries, which currently include the UK, would be required to provide evidence of a negative Covid PCR test taken up to 72 hours prior to their arrival, starting next Monday (23 November).


The new advice also takes account of the Canary Islands’ government requiring arrivals to produce evidence of a negative Covid test taken up to 72 hours prior to arrival when checking into tourist accommodation, and to download and activate the Radar Covid tracking app during their stay and for 15 days after their return home.
