It’s only a formality, but the Spanish authorities have confirmed that the country is extending its travel ban on arrivals from the United Kingdom for another two weeks. These restrictions were due to expire on Tuesday (February 2nd), but have now been extended until 6pm on February 16th.
Spain began restricting arrivals from the UK both by sea and air on December 22nd over fears of a mutant coronavirus strain, with only Spanish nationals and those legally resident in Spain and its territories, including the Canary Islands, allowed to enter the country. International transit through Spanish airports by passengers on flights departing from the UK was also prohibited.
This means that only passengers with a Spanish passport, green residencia card or certificate, or the new TIE card (or proof of application) with a negative Covid test will be allowed in to the country. UK owners of properties in Spain are still not allowed entry without the above documents.
