I would probably check .gov website rather than facebook. HA HA

My friend arrived at Sevilla airport yesterday and said no one was asking to see for Covid passes etc.

The AENA site says:
As of Tuesday, September 20, 2022, it is no longer necessary to complete the health screening form to travel to Spain or to present the QR code at the destination airport.

Passengers on flights from countries outside the European Union or the Schengen Area may be subjected to a health check that includes a visual check of their physical condition and temperature taking with non-contact thermometers or thermographic cameras.

Canada has now dropped all Covid measures including masks on public transport. They were one of the strictest previously.

My friend said she didn't have to wear a mask on the plane here, but on the train from Malaga to Sevilla staff members came through and told people to put their masks on. I don't know why Spain has been so slow at dropping the requirements when even countries like New Zealand has stopped the restrictions.

You cant get on a bus in Malaga area without a mask and they walk through the local trains and check. No mask and your off at the next stop.

As Enrique said only passport needed. Ryanair to Leeds, outward flight " Sorry we've only got tea", return flight "Sorry we've only got coffee ". What a carry on.

You still need a proof of Covid vaccination certificate, although at Malaga airport last week they weren't checking - however they *were* checking temperatures as you walked through.

I came from Madrid to Bristol on Wednesday. No one asked for anything at any time.

I fly from Gatwick to Madrid at the end of the month. Fingers crossed that I don't need anything as I do not have anything.
No one would give me a Covid recovery certificate where I live.

My daughter and son-in-law flew into Malaga yesterday, no checks of any sort done but they had used their regular covid test company, just in case. We also used them when we flew back in August and our forms were checked.

This is the website (below), they courier the test to you next day and then within 24 hours of your flight home you do the test, take a photo of the result next to your passport (obviously open on the details page) scan it, send it to the testing company and fill in a very simple form, it's all been very efficient and as stress free as these things can be. It's good the health form isn't required now, all you need is to print out the form with your negative result on. Cost is £14.99

Trouble is if you do not have access to the internet it seems impossible to do a test as they all need you to upload the photo and they send the result by email. That's how I did it in May but my OH does not have internet at his dad's and without a car he cannot just pop into town to try to get wifi somewhere, particularly with the time restriction. My result and certificate came through a couple of hours after I submitted the photo, so not really possible to do if you're not online.

Malaga airport last night, passport control only and nobody asking about C19 forms or proof. Thru in 5 minutes. 37 hours parking was 44 euros .
