Travelling to Spain

Spain has lifted all its COVID-19 health controls except for travelers arriving from the People's Republic of China. All passengers arriving in Spain by air from China must undergo a health control at the first point of entry that will include, at least, a temperature control, a documentary check and a visual check on their condition. The documentary control involves the check of an EU Digital COVID Certificate or equivalent or a certificate of SARSCoV2 diagnostic test with negative result. For more information, see here.
