Britons entering Spain now need proof of a return or onward ticket, evidence they have enough money for their stay and should be able to show they have somewhere to stay.

This includes confirmation of a hotel booking, proof of an address if you are visiting your own property or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family.

Foreign Office advice says: “You may also be subject to additional checks at the point of entry including a temperature check, visual health assessment, or testing on arrival.”

It is also important to remember that your passport is valid for at least three months after the day you depart and has to have been issued within 10 years of your arrival date.

The Foreign Office advises travellers to check their passport meets these requirements before travelling.

It add that if your passport was issued before October 1, 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date.

You can travel to countries in the European Union’s Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa.

Countries in the Schengen area are: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
