The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Spain, reflecting the country’s decision earlier this week to scrap its Covid travel health form, portal and app – while warning that some Covid-related spot checks will continue at ports of entry.

The SpTH portal was mothballed by Spain’s ministry of health on Tuesday (20 September); it means visitors, regardless of their Covid vaccination status, are no longer required to fill out the form or acquire a QR code to enter the country.


However, Spain’s tourist office in the UK confirmed to TTG that Spain’s Covid travel requirements, which were last week extended until mid-November, would continue to apply despite the portal being shut, a point reinforced by the FCDO on Wednesday (21 September).
