Spain will update their entry requirements from next month impacting holiday makers.
Scots planning to jet off for some Spanish sun may have their holiday plans thrown into chaos as booster vaccines are now being added to the list of entry requirements.
Currently, Spain is allowing those who are fully vaccinated with two doses into the country but the rules will be updated next month.

From February 1, Spain will only admit visitors with vaccination certificates indicating they have been fully vaccinated against the virus within the previous 270 days (nine months), as Hull reports.
And as SchengenVisaInfo.com reports, anyone who has been given their last dose of the Covid vaccine more than nine months will need a booster jab to enter Spain.
Spain's entry requirement rules apply to anyone aged 12 and over and fully vaccinated children aged 12 to 15 can request an NHS COVID Pass letter for international travel.
The booster jab must also have been administered at least 14 days before travel and evidence of the third dose must be contained on the NHS app, or document used for entry.
The country's official travel website Safe Spain stated: “From February 1, 2022, in order to travel to Spain with a vaccination certificate, the certificate must have been issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin at least 14 days after the date of administration of the last dose of the full course of vaccination, as long as the final dose of that course of vaccination was no more than 270 days ago.”
This latest update means those planning on jetting off to Spain in February for the half term break must check their vaccination status before departing.
Travellers are encouraged to ensure they have correct documentation, including the correct Covid pass.
If you use a printed version or PDF, it needs to be printed or downloaded after November 1 to be eligible in Spain.
All arrivals must also fill out a Spanish Government Health Control Form prior to arrival. This can be filled in online or submitted in paper before departure.
Arrivals at airports and ports will be asked to present a QR code proving they have filled in the form.
Fully vaccinated travellers do not need to take a test before travelling to or on arrival in Spain from the UK.
Tourists travelling to Spain are not able to use proof of recovery from Covid-19 to enter the country.
