Passengers on planes and ships will no longer have to present health control forms when entering Spain. 

The obligation had already been scrapped for most countries, but now Spain’s ministry of health has removed the measure entirely. 

In a resolution published this Monday in the official state gazette (BOE), the health ministry explains the improvement in the pandemic situation regarding Covid-19 has allowed them to take this step. 

The move was also made with the aim of "favoring the normalization of international movement." 

From tomorrow – Tuesday, September 20 – passengers who until now had to fill in the Spain Travel Health form will no longer have to do so.
