Travel options to Spain (and back)

While in recent days it has been reported in various media that Spain is (largely) partly 'red' again on the official corona map of Europe, we would like to inform you concretely about the travel options that you prefer as a Spain-like person.

It is very important that we make a clear distinction within the travel options between 'travel to' and 'returnfrom' the country of Spain.

Travel to Spain

Don't forget that you have to fill out a separate form for each trip and each person traveling! The obligation to fill in this document also applies to children, regardless of age.

In this case, the (negative) results will also have to be entered on the questionnaire in order to generate the QR code. Flanders and Wallonia are currently 'green' zones for the country of Spain, which means that if you start your journey from one of these two regions, you do not have to submit any of the above results. Important: the Brussels Capital Region is still a red zone!

For people who have already been  fully vaccinated, it is not necessary to submit any of the above (negative) results, but they will need a proof of complete vaccinationand the dates of vaccinations should also be entered in the Spain Tavel Health document to generate the QR code.
