We are on the ferry any getting to Santander this afternoon. It wasn't a great start. We tried to fill in our health form on all our devices but couldn't complete it. Got the port at Portsmouth, told the girl in the booth and she sent us to the terminal where she said someone would help. Got there and about 20 people in front of it with same problem. Our ferry was at 9am and this was 8am. Anyway got to the desk and very helpful man did it all for us and gave us our printouts. Still a load of people behind us waiting and this was 8.50 by then. Apparently you have to get your info and QR code sent to a gmail account only but I think that's crazy. Just a heads up for anyone travelling soon.

Not sure about the Gmail being necessary???

We have travelled to and from Spain a few times recently and my email account is Hotmail and I’ve not had a problem with receiving Spanish health form emails and QR codes 🤔

But worth bearing in mind if we have problems next time???

I came back to Spain two weeks ago and apparently the Spanish health people won't reply to a Hotmail account. 

Fortunately I have a Gmail account that I never use. I tried via this and voila!

It's just mental. We always think it's something we've done wrong but when you see a queue of people moaning about the same thing makes you feel better. Felt so sorry for the staff dealing with this. 😣

There was much confusion and head scratching at Portsmouth ferry terminal. Fortunately all my "stuff" was in order so I had no problem. 

The only issue I had was SPTH refused to reply to my hotmail account. I only came across that information by complete luck. Started the process again via Gmail and the rest was plain sailing. 

Travelling these days has become a nightmare due to the excessive red tape!

Definitely stressful. Hopefully Spain will abandon this form. 🙄🙄🙄

Hopefully they will abandon many things including the form. 

Ludicrous mask rules particularly!

Ha..........

And then we won't be able to travel by air because the flaming Russians are slinging missiles around.

If it's not one thing it's another !!
