No more need to fill out the “Medical Control Form” to travel to Spain or show the SpTH QR code at the airport of arrival», — said in a statement from the Ministry of Health.

Previously, a “Medical Control Form”, which indicated whether the traveler was vaccinated, recovered, or tested negative for COVID-19, as well as other information, had to be completed online prior to arrival in Spain for all tourists who did not have EU digital certificate.

Once travelers arrived in Spain, they had to present the document to airport or seaport officials in order to obtain permission to enter the country.

However, as the Spanish authorities have concluded that such a measure is no longer necessary to control the spread of COVID-19, this requirement has been removed. Thus, all travelers, regardless of their country of origin, no longer need to fill out any forms.

However, most recently, Spain extended the entry rules for tourists from non-EU countries until November 15.
