Welcome to Europe
Before you book your trip to Spain, make sure that you are familiar to Spain’s ETIAS Requirements. Spanish National Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently issued a Level 3 Health Notice for Spain because of the high prevalence of Covid-19. It requires from travelers to have EMA-approved vaccine or PCR test upon arrival.
From 2025, Spain as well as other Schengen, EFTA and European Microstates with Open Borders countries will have new entry requirements. Nationals of 59 Visa-Exempt Countries will need to have ETIAS authorisation to enter the country.
You must have Valid Biometric Passport to be eligible for ETIAS Authorisation. Since 2010, the UK government has issued biometric passports, meaning that you don’t need to apply for a new passport, as long as it has validity throughout your stay in Spain.
All fees should be paid by valid credit or debit card. ETIAS authorisation is valid for three years. However, if your current passport expires before your autorisation’s expiration date, you need to apply for a new ETIAS Visa Waiver for your new passport.
