Entry into Gran Canaria

3.6K Posts

Can i ask for some help /info from the members.
My wife and i are going to Gran Canaria in March ,i know at this time we do not need to take any tests to go and no tests to leave ( both triple jabbed ) but a test 2 days after we return but i have two questions if anyone can help.
1) When we fill in the Spanish Passenger Loc. form ( spth form ) is best to do two separate forms rather than a family form and can you fill this in now ,2 months before travel
2) We both have vaccination Certs from the NHS but were issued in July 21 so will they still be valid in March 2022 ?
thanks to anybody who replies / helps.

2) yes you will need new ones. Ignoring the fact the QR code on the travel ones only last a month, the EU only started to accept the UK Covid Pass from the 1st Nov 2021 so all barcodes needed to be dated from that point on.
Oh and dont do anything silly like booking tests 2 months in advance either, they could be obsolete by then. Yes i get you want to be prepared but at the moment its almost pointless being prepared this far in advance.
There is certainly no benefit in doing it early if you are able to.
At the airport (this was in October, arrived at terminal via a bus rather than an airbridge) all they did was check the PLF in the bit between the passport control and the baggage belts and that was it. There was someone there with a temperature guage but didnt see her brandish it on anyone.
How far in advance can I fill out the electronic health control form?
The form can be started at any time from the moment you have the details of your trip (by air/sea), filling in the data you want and saving it to continue later. You can only complete the health-related questions and sign the completed form 48 hours before your arrival in Spain.
The above is taken from the official page which has all the info you need: https://www.spth.gob.es/
Spanish locator form can be done as a family / couple but cannot be finalised until 48 hours prior to departure.
