• From this Monday, people who can prove their vaccination will be able to cross the Franco-Spanish border without having to present a negative PCR test.

  • For French people returning from Spain, from Wednesday, the negative test of less than 72 hours will no longer be mandatory provided they have received their two doses of vaccine, or one dose for those who have already had Covid-19 .

Spain is one of the favorite destinations of the French during the summer period.

But the Covid-19 pandemic has limited tourist flows to our neighbors in recent months.

To get there, until now, you had to be able to justify a negative PCR test of less than 72 hours to be able to cross the border.

Only children under six, connecting air travelers, cross-border commuters and road carriers have been exempt until now.

As of Monday, the country has decided to change the rule.

The government of Pédro Sanchez indicated that foreign nationals who wanted to go to Iberian territory could do so by presenting proof of vaccination.

“From Monday, passengers coming to Spain will be able to access it with a PCR test, an antigen test or a vaccination certificate.

The excellent immunization data keep us moving forward.

Spain is a safe destination, ”said Carolina Darias, Minister of Health, at the end of the week.

From the moons, los pasajeros que vengan a España podrán acceder con PCR, test of antígenos o certificado de vacunación o recuperación.



Los excelentes datos de vacunación nos permiten seguir avanzando.



España is a destino seguro.

An easing that should make it possible to revive the Spanish tourism sector, hit hard by the health crisis, while the country is aiming for a target of 70% of its population vaccinated before the end of the summer.

And for the return to France?

And to return to France, things are also changing as indicated at the weekend by the Minister of Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebarri.

From Wednesday, and the transition to phase three of deconfinement, vaccinated Europeans, Swiss included, will be able to come to France without having to present a PCR test.

But for this, you must have received both doses for those who have never had Covid-19 or a dose for those who have already been sick.

For the others, they will have to present a PCR or antigen test of less than 72 hours to be able to return to French territory.

If travelers return before Wednesday from Spain, even vaccinated, they still have the obligation to present a PCR test of less than 72 hours.

A valid measure of return from Spain, but not from the United States or the United Kingdom for example where the negative test remains imperative, even if travelers are vaccinated.
