A rule change has come in for UK travellers from Wednesday December 1, which requires anyone over the age of 12 to be double vaccinated if they want to enter Spain.
As reported by Which? if you have been fully vaccinated at least 14 days prior to arriving in Spain, you’ll need to be able to prove it.
The entry rules are the same for the whole country, whether you’re visiting the Canaries, Mallorca, Ibiza or mainland Spain.
English holidaymakers visiting Spain can use the NHS Covid Pass app to provide evidence of the date of their vaccinations.
Breaking: Spain 🇪🇸 bans all unvaccinated visitors from the UK — amid the UK’s high infection rate. Only vaccinated visitors (and their children) can travel to Spain, effective 1 Dec. #COVID19

To ensure success when preparing to fly out it is advised to print out the required QR code or save it in your phone's photos or documents folder
Previously some travellers have missed their flights when the Covid Pass app stopped working, leaving them with no means of proving when they received their vaccinations.
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can also access your vaccine status online, or request proof in letter form.
Aside from proving your vaccination status you will also need to complete and sign an online Health Control Form, no more than 48 hours prior to travel, declaring any known history of Covid exposure.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
