Spain travel rules for UK passport holders

By staff5 July 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Spain is the most popular holiday destination for Brits, but there are new rules to be aware of if you are travelling in 2022 – including passport rules and EHIC cards

Spain remains the top holiday choice for UK travellers, with millions flocking there annually to bask in the sunshine, explore its vibrant cities, and savour authentic Spanish dishes. This year looks set to follow the same pattern, with travel industry insiders forecasting a record-breaking summer for overseas getaways.

When planning a Spanish holiday, or any international trip, it’s crucial to stay informed about current regulations and entry criteria. This has become especially vital following the post-Brexit changes that have been implemented.

For example, Spain, alongside other Schengen zone countries, now mandates that UK passport holders must have passports with a “date of issue” within 10 years of their arrival date. Additionally, passports must remain valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure date from the Schengen area, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) states: “Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to. You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.”

British passport holders are permitted to enter Spain and the broader Schengen region for holidays, family visits, business purposes, cultural or sporting events, or short-term educational programmes, for up to 90 days within any 180-day timeframe. Upon arrival, your passport will be stamped, and it’s crucial to ensure you get another stamp when leaving.

If not, it could appear as though you overstayed the 90-day limit, potentially causing issues if you attempt to re-enter the Schengen area later in the year.

To enter Spain, you might need to present a return or onward ticket, proof of sufficient funds for your stay, travel insurance documentation, and confirmation of your hotel booking or proof of address if you’re staying at your own property. If you’re lodging with others, such as family or friends, an invitation or proof of their address may be necessary.

Importing meat, milk or products containing them into Spain is prohibited, with exceptions for items like powdered infant milk, baby food, and special foods or pet feed required for medical reasons. Moreover, if you’re carrying cash or travellers cheques amounting to 10,000 euros or more, you must declare it to the authorities.

After declaring, you’ll receive a certified document indicating that the money was brought with you. Failure to produce this document could result in your money being confiscated upon departure.
