ARCHIVED - Spain extends border closures for non-EU nationals until May 31 (includes UK nationals)
Nationals of countries outside of the Schengen area and EU may only enter for essential reasons
The Spanish government has extended the temporary restriction of non-essential trips from third countries to the European Union and European Schengen area, due to the ongoing covid-19 situation, until May 31 2021.
Confirmation of the decision has been published today, Friday April 30 in the Official State Gazette (BOE).Click for link to BOE
This order from the Ministry of the Interior responds to the recommendation of the European Council of June 30 recommending the temporary restriction of this type of travel by air to the EU and the possible lifting of said limitations.
Specifically, as of May 1, travelers from India, Brazil, South Africa, Botswana, Comoros, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Peru and Colombia, with or without stopovers, will only be able to enter Spain if they are residents of Spain or Andorra.
Spanish citizens and their spouse or partner with whom they maintain a union analogous to the conjugal which is registered in a public registry, and those ascendants and descendants who live in their care, may also do so, provided they travel with or to meet with the latter.
They may also enter if they are marine and aeronautical transport personnel to carry out designated activities; diplomatic, consular, international organizations, military, civil protection and humanitarian organizations, in the exercise of their functions, or those who prove reasons of force majeure.
Entry restrictions by air for passengers from countries outside of the EU and the Schengen area have been extended and adapted to the evolution of the pandemic in different countries.
The last extension, which came into effect on March 26, ended this Friday, April 30. With the publication in the BOE of the new regulations, the temporary restriction of non-essential travel by air from third countries to the EU and associated with Schengen is extended until May 31 (26 countries, of which 22 are Member States of the European Union).
UK nationals:
The United Kingdom finally left the European Union at the end of December 2020 and its citizens are now third country nationals, so the same rules apply to them as to other non-EU members.
At the moment planning for the summer months is hinging on the decision of the British Government about when it will permit British nationals to resume holiday activity. At the moment this may be from May 17 onwards, or even in June, although the UK Govt. is fighting shy of making a commitment to any clear dates.
Spain leaves the state of emergency on May 7th, after which inter-regional travel will be possible within Spain, but the ban on non-EU citizens entering Spain other than for essential reasons was extended on Friday April 30 until May 31.
Entry restrictions and testing requirements continue to apply for travel to Spain. Only citizens and legal residents of the European Union, Schengen states, Andorra, Monaco, The Vatican (Holy See); and San Marino, and those who can demonstrate through documentary evidence an essential need to enter Spain, will be granted passage under current travel restrictions.
It is highly advisable to check the latest travel advice for Spain on the UK Gov website before making any travel plans.The information below can be found on the link above:
