Tourists are being warned of new travel changes that affect all children between the age of 12 and 15.

The authorities in Spain set and enforce entry rules for those travelling for tourism purposes.

If you’re fully vaccinated and travelling from the UK, you can enter Spain without needing to test or quarantine regardless of your reason for travel.

But you must show proof of being fully vaccinated to enter Spain from the UK if travelling for tourism purposes.

Spain will accept the UK’s proof of COVID-19 vaccination record and proof of COVID-19 vaccination issued in the Crown Dependencies.

Your final vaccine dose must have been administered at least 14 days prior to travel.

If you are travelling with a printed PDF proof of vaccination status, it must date from November 1 2021 to ensure that the certificate can be scanned successfully.

Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

From December 13, fully vaccinated children aged 12 to 15 can request an NHS COVID Pass letter for international travel.

Children under the age of 12 years old do not need to show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain.

However, before travel to Spain, everyone (including children under 12 years old, travelling by air or sea must fill in and sign an online Health Control Form.

If you do not complete this form electronically, you may submit it in the paper format before boarding.
