Spain and Netherlands update Covid travel rules for unvaccinated

Spain and the Netherlands have entirely dropped all Covid travel entry requirements, meaning those who are unvaccinated can now visit without any tests or forms. From Tuesday, September 20, people travelling to Spain will no longer fill out a health form upon entry, or have to show proof of vaccination.

The Spanish Ministry of Health posted on Facebook today: "Starting tomorrow, September 20, it will NO longer be necessary to complete the health check form to travel to Spain OR present the QR code of SpTH (Spain Travel Health) at the airport on arrival."

It comes just days after it was reported the European nation would extend its restrictions to mid-November. It will mean all major European countries have now dropped their Covid travel restrictions.

Like Spain, the Netherlands kept their protocols for travellers in place much longer than the majority of European countries.

It is recommended to check travel restrictions for any country before you travel.
