Additional requirements: EU Digital COVID Certificate and other certificates

From June 7th 2021, if you come from a country/area considered at risk for COVID-19, you must present a certificate or document certifying vaccination, an active infection diagnostic test (AIDT) or recovery from COVID-19. These certificates will be different if they have been issued in a country of the European Union (EU Digital COVID Certificate) or in a third country.

EU Digital COVID Certificate

On 17 March 2021, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal to create a digital certificate to facilitate the safe free movement of citizens in the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic. The EU Digital COVID Certificate (DCC) will be valid in all EU Member States and will be issued by the competent authorities of the EU countries.

There are 3 types of EU Digital COVID Certificate may (vaccination, diagnostic test or recovery), and any of them may be used by travelers to enter Spain, if they meet the following criteria:

• COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate. Valid 14 days after receiving the complete regimen. Any vaccine authorized by the European Union (European Medicines Agency, EMA) and WHO will be accepted.
• Certificate of a diagnostic test for SARSCoV2 with negative result. The following diagnostic tests shall be admissible:
• NAAT- nucleic acid amplification tests (e.g.: RT-PCR, RT-LAMP, TMA, HAD, NEAR, CRISPR, SDA), with sampling within the previous 72 hours to arrival in Spain.
• RAT-rapid antigen test, with sampling within the previous 48 hours to arrival in Spain. You can consult the list of rapid tests approved by the European Commission through this link
• A COVID-19 Recovery certificate (valid from day 11 after the first positive NAAT and up to 180 days after the sample date)
• COVID-19 certificates of vaccination, diagnostic tests or recovery issued by countries with which the EU has established equivalence will have the same status as an EU DCC. These countries can be consulted on the European Union (EU) website

Other certificates

Passengers from third countries who meet the requirements to enter Spain (see section "Entry requirements for entry in Spain from third countries"), may travel by presenting any of the following certificates, as long as they meet the same conditions as the EU Digital COVID Certificate:

• A certificate of vaccination against COVID-19,
• A negative diagnostic test (NAAT or RAT) performed within 72h (NAAT)/48h (RAT) of arrival,
• A certificate of recovery from COVID-19

For people coming directly in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in addition to the vaccination certificate, diagnostic certificates of NAAT tests (nucleic acid amplification tests, e.g.: RT-PCR, RT-LAMP, TMA, HAD, NEAR, CRISPR, SDA,etc.) will also be considered valid.

Until the EU Digital Covid Certificate regulations are in force, member states citizens may continue to submit other vaccination/diagnostic test/recovery certificates.

The date from which it will be mandatory to present an EU-CCD to travel will be indicated in the aforementioned Regulation once it is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
