Spain, which is popular with many holidaymakers, now allows entry on presentation of quick test results. So far, the country has insisted on molecular biological results, such as PCR or TMA.

People who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 or who have survived the disease do not need to present a test result. Instead, valid proof of vaccination or recovery can be presented. Further details should be obtained in good time before departure via the official homepages of the respective region, as the regulations may differ.

Those who have neither been vaccinated nor recovered can travel to Spain from June 7, 2021 even with a negative rapid test result. This must be a maximum of 48 hours old from the time it was taken and must be issued by an official test center, for example a pharmacy, test street or doctor. Self-tests are not recognized. Spain continues to accept PCR results. These can also be a maximum of 48 hours old (from the time the sample was taken).

The pre-entry registration via the Spain Travel Health Portal remains valid. The QR code that is then generated must be presented on paper or, alternatively, on the smartphone during a possible entry check. The Spanish government announced that random checks of the test results should take place at the airports, as cheating has occurred again and again in many countries since the beginning of the corona pandemic.
