*Entry requirements for Spain*
Lots of you have been in touch about the general entry requirements for Spain, including whether you need to provide proof of funds and if a carta de invitación is obligatory. We wanted to clarify that there have been no changes to the guidance this summer.
You can find further information on our Travel Advice page (https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements) - do scroll down to the "additional documents required by tourists section", as well as on the Ministerio de Interior site (https://www.interior.gob.es/opencms/es/servicios-al-ciudadano/tramites-y-gestiones/extranjeria/regimen-general/entrada-requisitos-y-condiciones/).
In summary, UK nationals entering the Schengen zone (in any country) as tourists may need to provide additional documents at the border. As well as a valid return or onward ticket, it is possible that travellers to Spain may also be asked to show you have enough money for your stay and/or show proof of accommodation for your stay. The carta de invitación is just one way of doing this.
