Health Measures Mandatory for Prospective Travellers

Posted date: 20 Jan 2021

With the wide spread effects of Covid-19 countries are now forced to take strict precautionary measures while dealing with travellers. From compulsory Covid tests to 7 to 14 day quarantine, the government bodies are working tirelessly to ensure maximum safety and security of their nationals and the guests arriving from abroad.

A new regulation has been issued by the Spanish Ministry of Health, dealing with the health measures to be implemented and concerning the travellers arriving in Spain. In this regard, it is mandatory for prospective travellers to know about the following:

All passengers arriving in Spain, may it by air or sea, will undergo a health check carried out by Spanish authorities before entering the country. These controls may include a temperature check as well as a documentary and a visual assessment of passengers’ condition.

Before initiating the travel to Spain all passengers originating from any airport or port must complete a public health form. It can be done online at www.spth.gob.es or through the free application: SPAIN TRAVEL HEALTH-sp TH. Once the form is filled-in, the person concerned will receive a QR code, which you will have to show upon arrival in Spain.

A transitional period is established, in which international passengers who have not been able to complete the public health form electronically may fill it and present it upon arrival in Spain in paper format.
