11/12/2020

The Ministry of Health of the Government of Spain has announced that from November 23 it will be mandatory to have a negative PCR test for SARS-COVID19 to enter the country. This rule will allow the entry of foreign workers, which in the case of the Audiovisual Industry, is key to the resumption or attraction of new film shootings to Spain.

The details of the regulations are as follows:

  • From 23 November all passengers from countries at risk who wish to enter Spain by air or sea must have a negative PCR test performed within the 72 hours prior to their arrival
  • The document must be an original, written in Spanish or English. It will be valid in paper or electronic format. The authorities may request accreditation of the test result at any time.
  • Health Control Form: Compulsory before entering country by port or airport. It will include a question about performing a negative PCR test within the 72 hours prior to arrival in Spain.
