    Travellers from the UK to the Balearics now need a negative PCR or be fully vaccinated. Concerns about the Delta variant.

    There's murder over there now.
    Students from all over Spain on end of the year trips to Mallorca, mixed up in parties and some concert resulted in a major outbreak which has spread to the mainland.

    Those students now feel victimised. Poor things :rolleyes:

    I'm still confused about the current rules for Spain from Ireland!

    I am currently fully vaccinated. So, would I still need an antigen test before I travel? Or is the vaccine alone sufficient?

    You will need the test until the passport is introduced which i think is next week...

    I checked after i posted..

    What certificate or documentary proof will they require from me on my arrival in Spain, if I come from a risk country/area?
    If you come from a country/area considered of risk, you must bring with you one of the supporting certificates/documents listed below:

    EU Digital COVID Certificate IN DIGITAL FORMAT, issued by a member state of the European Union. It may contain one or more of the following documents proving that a person:

    has been vaccinated against COVID-19
    a diagnostic test [NAAT (nucleic acid amplification test, e.g. RT-PCR, RT-LAMP, TMA) /RAT (rapid antigen test)] has been performed and the result was negative.
    has recovered from COVID-19, after having had the disease.

    You keep posting about travel without having a clue what you're talking about. Ireland is not a risk country for a start.

    The Spanish government has a hugely detailed form that you fill out before travel. It generates a QR code which includes your name, your flight number and your seat number. I presume the airline checks this against your boarding pass.

    The last part, which cannot be completed less than 48 hours before departure, gives three options to allow you to travel. Negative test, vaccinated, recovered. When you state that you've been vaccinated it asks which vaccine. When you input this the QR code is generated.

    If you're travelling before the 19th of July the only proof of vaccination you'll have is the piece of card but there's anecdotal evidence that it's acceptable. If you're travelling after the 19th you should have the Digital Green Certificate.

    So you don't need a test if you're vaccinated.

    You don't know what you talking about, i returned from Spain FRIDAY JUNE 25th...
    The SpTH are the health people in Spain and this form can be filled well in advance of travel and generated the QR code, really passenger locator.
    The min from Ireland today is the Antigen which we can have at Dublin (randox) before we leave this and this is manually checked as we are not in Covid passport yet.
    The system in Spain scans the QR and manually checks the Covid result.

    Does anyone know the current restriction level in Malaga/Benalmadena?
    The only information i could find online was from a while ago mentioning bars etc closing at 10pm.
    I had assumed it was approaching more normal life over there or is it still table service indoors in bars and closing early?

    I can tell you one thing
    Ireland IS currently listed as a risk country for Spain
    Ergo an antigen is required or proof of full vaccination
    The latter is a gamble as to whether your HSE vaccination card will do,a risk I wouldn't take,for the sake of the price of a test
    After the 19th it becomes simple,you'll have your DCC

    Im really hoping the digital covid cert will be easy to down load or whatever?

    I seen Simon Donnelly saying it will be emailed to everyone fully vaccinated but I dont remember giving any email address to my GP who gave me the vaccination.
    And my mother has never had an email address and she is planning on going to Spain too on July 22nd.

    Is this the site you were on about?

    https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/3a698-eu-digital-covid-certificate/#where-you-can-get-yours

    Where you can get yours

    The legislation for the Certificate will apply from 1 July across the EU. The Irish Government advised, on 28 May, that the EU Digital COVID Certificate will play a significant role in the proposed new international travel measures intended to be implemented from 19 July 2021.

    Teams across the public service are working together to deliver the EU Digital COVID Certificate in Ireland and you will be clearly notified of the steps needed to access the EU Digital COVID Certificate soon.


    Personally, I would like some idea of when I will be clearly notified, lol

    If that is genuinely the solution to this then I'm embarrassed to be Irish.

    I really hope this isn’t the case. Is it not supposed to be an app?
    I’m going to Spain next week and returning home in August. Posting my DCC to my house is going to be a bit awkward! I’ll have to get someone to post it to me in Spain..

    Fingers crossed he is talking out his ass and it’s done via an app I can download abroad
