ARCHIVED - Spain travel update: Covid pass available for over UK 12s
The pass covers fully vaccinated children between 12 and 15 travelling from the UK to Spain
Coinciding with news of the spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant, Spain announced on December 1 that all travellers over the age of 12 arriving from the UK must produce proof of being double jabbed.
To facilitate international travel, the British government has updated its official website to announce that from December 13, fully vaccinated children aged between 12 and 15 can obtain an NHS Covid Pass letter suitable for entry into Spain.
The pass is now all the more important since a number of communities in Spain require proof of vaccination for bars, restaurants and hospitals.
The UK government has reiterated that children under 12 do not need to:
- Show proof of being fully vaccinated on entry to Spain
- Take diagnostic tests prior to arrival
- Meet the requirements outlined in the Spanish Ministry of Health ‘Travel and COVID-19’ page, even if they have visited a ‘risk country’ in the previous 14 days
Travellers of any age, including children under 12 years old, travelling by air or sea must fill in and sign an online Health Control Form no more than 48 hours before travel.
