ARCHIVED - Spain extends entry restrictions for international travellers until June 15th
Non-essential travellers are not permitted to enter
On Friday 15th May the BOE has published an order extending the entry restrictions to Spain for non-essential independent travellers until June 15th. Click to see original document; BOE
This goes beyond the current dates established for the state of emergency although prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has already announced his intention to prolong the state of alarm until June 26th.
From today new quarantine rules apply and anyone arriving in Spain must self-isolate for 14 days.
Although the new rules are deemed to be “unenforceable” as there appears to be no mechanism by which the quarantine can be physically enforced, new arrivals will be expected to comply and self-isolate for 14 days.
Earlier in the week the entry restrictions for non-residents were amplified until May 24th, but this amendment to the BOE effectively restricts entry into Spain for anyone other than residents until June 15th.
The extension affects all those non-residents of Spain travelling for any non-essential purposes, only allowing entry to members of EU states or areas within the Schengen borders who need to stop off in Spain as they travel to their temporary place of residence or for the transit of goods/services/ diplomatic personnel and health workers.
It’s an additional blow for all those who had hoped that the Covid crisis would be over by the end of May and that it would be possible to take a holiday in Spain during June.
The text says:
The members of the European Council agreed, on March 17th, 2020, to apply a period of thirty days temporary restriction to non-essential travel from third countries to the European Union and associated Schengen countries.
The agreement was intended to limit the spread of COVID-19 contagion. Spain applied this agreement through Order INT / 270/2020, of March 21st, which establishes criteria for the application of a temporary restriction on non-travel from third countries to the European Union and associated Schengen countries for reasons of public order and public health, due to the health crisis caused by COVID-19. This restriction was part of the state of alarm declared by Royal Decree 463/2020, of March 14, declaring the alarm status for the management of the health crisis situation caused by the COVID-19, and joined measures such as those adopted through Order INT / 239/2020, of March 16, re-establishing controls at internal borders land due to the health crisis situation caused by COVID-19.
The state of alarm declared by Royal Decree 463/2020, of March 14, has been extended in Spain until, for the moment, on May 24 at 00:00. They have also successively extended controls at internal land borders,expanding them to air and sea, so that under the Order INT /396/2020, of May 8, and of Order INT / 401/2020, of May 11, are in force until 00:00 hours on May 24.
After evaluating the pandemic situation in the Member States, in the Schengen partners and third countries, the European Commission recommended to extend until May 15th the temporary restriction of non-essential travel from third countries to the European Union and Schengen partner countries. This recommendation was included in the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council and the Council on the evaluation of the application of the temporary travel restriction no essential to the European Union, of April 8, Spain put it into practice through the Order INT / 356/2020, of April 20, by which the criteria for the application of a temporary restriction on non-essential travel from third parties countries to the European Union and Schengen partner countries for reasons of public order and public health due to the health crisis caused by COVID-19. All other Schengen states acted in this way.
Again, in your Communication on the restriction of non-essential travel to the European Union of 8 May, the Commission recommends the extension of the aforementioned restrictions, in this case until June 15th.
By virtue of this, pursuant to the provisions of article 4, sections 2 and 3, of the Royal Decree 463/2020, of March 14, provide:
Article 1. Applicable criteria to deny entry for reasons of public order and public health due to the health crisis caused by COVID-19.
1. For the purposes of articles 6.1 e) and 14 of Regulation (EU)2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council of March 9, 2016,establishes a Code of Union standards for the crossing of people across borders
