Travel Requirements Spain

Recently Ive been thinking about Spain. Spain, is pretty close to us in the UK and its the type of place where you end up on a two week holiday with either friends or family with a massive sun tan and a car rental vehicle you have hired but have spent more time on the beach then actually in.

Below is some information regarding the travel requirements for Travelling into Spain.

Visa Requirements 

If you are a British Citizen or British Subject with Right of Abode in the United Kingdom, you do not require a visa to enter Spain. Other British Nationals should confirm the current entry requirements with their nearest Spanish Diplomatic Mission. 

Passport validity 

You need a passport or a National Identity Card (see the website of the Identity and Passports Service (IPS)) to enter Spain. There is no minimum passport validity requirement but you should ensure that your passport is valid for the proposed period of your stay. 

Staying for longer than three months 

Since 28 March 2007 all EU citizens planning to reside in Spain for more than three months are required to register in person at the Office for Foreigners (Oficina de Extranjeros) in their province of residence or at designated Police stations. However, you will no longer be issued with a residence card and, instead, you will be issued a certificate stating your name, address, nationality, identity number and date of registration. The certificate serves as confirmation that the registration obligation has been fulfilled, but it is not recognised by the local authorities as a valid form of identification and you are not obliged to keep the certificate with you. See the Local Laws and Customs section of this advice for acceptable forms of ID. 

Unaccompanied minors 

You should be aware that each airline has its own policy regarding unaccompanied minors, and may require prior notification before arranging for them to travel. It is therefore essential to consult your airline before travelling.
