Reyes Maroto said an upcoming review of EU travel rules would allow greater flexibility with regards to visitors arriving from countries outside the union, so-called third countries.
The minister said that should the UK be placed on the EU’s free-to-travel list, Spain would adapt its national legislation to welcome UK residents; this could come as early as next Thursday (20 May).
Spain will continue to advocate for a regional approach to travel restrictions in its talks with the UK, and stressed she hoped Spain would feature on an upcoming revision of the UK’s "green list".
