Hi guys

Think you need Antigen Test 2 days before entering and at the moment before leaving to go back to UK.

If you follow these links, they can keep you up to date.

Like most things, follow the rules and should be OK.

For Anti Gen Tests, there are 2 places people have been using, IMED at the Condomina in Murcia or the Clinica Bernal in Caravaca.  Here are the links:

I believe IMED page has the prices and, don't quote me, Anti Gen at Bernal are (I think) 30 or 40 euros.

Hope this information helps and you manage to get sorted.

If you are double-vaccinated, you don't need to take any tests to get into Spain. You just need your proof of vaccination and to complete the Spanish Passenger Locator Form within 48 hours prior to the date / time of your departure from the UK.

To return to the UK, you will need the following (according to the current rules):

  1. Antigen / Lateral Flow test - must be negative and taken within 72 hours of your departure date / time. These are available at pharmacies, etc. and will cost round €30. I believe 'eraser' has posted a list of recommended places to get these on this forum.
  2. Pre-book a Day 2 test package to be delivered to your address in the UK. This can be booked online via any of the providers listed on the gov.uk website - prices should be around £45. You need the booking code for this test to input on your Passenger Locator Form. Note - if you are travelling to Scotland, you can only use the single provider listed on the scotgov website (CMT), the cost is £68 (just reduced from £88).
  3. UK Passenger Locator Form - must be completed online within 48 hours before your departure date / time.

All of the above can be stored on your smart phone and/or you could print them off to have 'hard' copies with you. 

Hope this helps!

Hi, we are catching the ferry in September, as far we concerned you don't need a test before entering Spain if you have been doubled vaccinated. Just fill in the spthm form on line, then have a antigen test before you come back to UK. Don't forget to fill in your UK form before leaving Spain. 

Cheers Alan.
