Irish passengers are being reminded of the requirements for entry to Spain despite the major easing of restrictions across the EU.
With the huge queues at Dublin Airport, the last thing holidaymakers want is to be delayed entry at their destination for not having one document with them.
While some EU countries have dropped the need for any documentation on entry, you’re reminded that on arrival in Spain, things are a bit different.

Passengers will be required to present a valid EU Covid cert or the equivalent based on one of the following:
- Vaccination against Covid-19
- A negative/not-detected Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (including RT-PCR, TMA or LAMP) taken no more than 72 hours prior to arrival, or Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) taken no more than 24 hours prior to arrival
- Recovery from Covid-19
The DFA added: "It is the individual passenger’s responsibility to ensure that their documents meet the requirements as outlined.
"Passengers may be subject to further health controls on arrival, including assessment and/or diagnostic testing."
Local Covid measures
Once you’ve landed, there are a number of Covid measures that remain in effect locally, but they may vary depending on the region you’re visiting.
General rules still in effect include wearing a mask on public transport across the country as well as when entering pharmacies or other healthcare settings.
You’re also required to wear your mask in a taxi or on other car-sharing journeys throughout your trip.
You can check the specific region you're travelling to online to ensure there are no additional measures in place.
