За прошедшие полтора года все устали от путаницы, запретов и тревог. Некоторые страны постепенно открывают границы, одновременно с этим смягчая карантинные меры. Однако уверенности это не добавляет. Многих волнует безопасность путешествий после возобновления полноценного международного сообщения.
Открыты ли границы на сегодняшний день? Ответ на этот вопрос зависит от многих факторов, таких как способ путешествия (на поезде, на самолете, на машине и пр.), направления. Также особое значение имеет свежая статистика касательно общего количества зараженных коронавирусом, действующие способы профилактики, карантинные меры.
Безопасно ли сейчас путешествовать?
Досмотр в аэропорту, длинные очереди к стойке регистрации, ожидание вылета вместе с сотнями и даже тысячами незнакомых людей, несколько часов пребывания в самолёте с другими пассажирами заставляет нас задуматься о безопасности таких перелётов.
Вы должны знать общие рекомендации по безопасности и здоровью, отслеживать и соблюдать изменения в местном и государственном уровне.
На входе в здание аэропорта в обязательном порядке измеряют температуру. Речь идёт не только о пассажирах, но и о членах экипажа, встречающих, сотрудниках аэропорта и пр. Непосредственно перед посадкой повторно используют тепловизоры и бесконтактные термометры.
В терминалах аэровокзала, в такси, общественном транспорте, во время перелёта в обязательном порядке следует использовать маски (если есть возможность, защитные экраны для лица).
Салоны самолётов некоторых перевозчиков оборудованы HEPA – специальными воздушными фильтрами. Для сокращения числа личных контактов между пассажирами на аэровокзалах было введено одностороннее движение по терминалам.
Ещё один важный момент: изменился даже подход авиакомпаний к так называемому «бортовому питанию». Лучше всего захватить перекус из дома. Главное, заранее проверьте требования руководства авиакомпаний к продуктам в ручной клади.
Таким образом, путешествия возможны при условии соблюдения всех мер безопасности.

Travelers from a country or territory on the list of low-incidence countries outside the high-risk area can enter without the need for diagnostic tests or vaccination or immunity certificates.Travelers from a territory included in the list of risk countries/areas (https://bit.ly/3dnL1fz), will need a vaccination certificate unless one of the situations described below applies to you:
a) Habitual residents of the European Union, Schengen Associated States, Andorra, Monaco, the Vatican (Holy See) or San Marino en route to that country, with documentary proof.
b) Holders of a long-stay visa issued by a Schengen Member State or Schengen Associated State who are en route to that country.
c) Health professionals, including health researchers, and elderly care professionals on their way to or returning from work.
d) Transport personnel, seafarers and aeronautical personnel required to carry out air transport activities.
e) Diplomatic, consular, international organisations, military, civil defence and humanitarian organisations personnel, in the exercise of their duties.
f) Students who are studying in Schengen Member States or associated States and who have the corresponding permit or visa and medical insurance, provided they are going to the country where they are studying, and that the entry takes place during the academic year or the 15 days prior to the start of the academic year.
g) Highly qualified workers whose work is necessary and cannot be postponed or carried out remotely, including participants in high-level sporting events taking place in Spain. These circumstances must be supported by documentary evidence.
h) Persons travelling for duly accredited imperative family reasons.
i) Persons who provide documentary evidence of force majeure or distress, or whose entry is permitted on humanitarian grounds.
J) Residents of third countries on a regularly updated list (see the current list here https://bit.ly/31qSIiJ).
The vaccination certificate must have been issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin at least 14 days after the date of administration of the last dose of the complete vaccination schedule. Complete vaccination schedules are defined as those established in the COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy (https://bit.ly/336lMwl) in Spain. Find out which vaccinations are permitted on the map (https://travelsafe.spain.info/en/) featured on the home page, checking the country you are travelling from.
Only children under 12 years of age are not required to present a health certificate of any kind.
As a minimum, the vaccination certificate shall include:
– Full name of the holder.
– Vaccination date.
– Type of vaccine administered.
– Number of doses administered/completed course.
– Issuing country.
– Identification of the organisation issuing the vaccination certificate.
The certificates must be in Spanish, English, French, or German. If they are in another language, they must be translated into Spanish by an official body.
If one of the exceptional situations described above applies to you, and you do not have a vaccination certificate, you must present a diagnostic certificate or recovery certificate:
Diagnostic certificate. You must submit a negative COVID-19 test. The tests accepted in Spain are NAAT (PCR, LAMP, TMA or similar) or antigens. You must present a negative NAAT test performed in the 72 hours prior to arrival in Spain or an antigen test performed in the 48 hours prior to arrival.
Recovery certificate (maximum 180 days from the test date).
If you are arriving by air or sea, there will be a health control checkpoint at the first point of entry, which will include at least taking your temperature, checking your documents, and a visual assessment of your state of health.
If you are suspected of having COVID-19, or any other disease that represents a public health risk, you will undergo a medical evaluation, and may be required to take a diagnostic test to check for an active infection (a PCR/TMA/RT-LAMP test). Furthermore, healthcare staff at border controls may perform a diagnostic test if you are travelling from a high risk country. In exceptional circumstances, certain passengers may be required to undergo a test within 48 hours of arrival in Spain.
If you are arriving from a high-risk country, to pass through the health control checkpoints on your arrival in Spain you will have to present (regardless of whether you have a vaccination or recovery certificate) your SpTH QR code together with a SARS-CoV-2 test certificate, with a negative result.
If you are in transit and will not be leaving the international zone, you will not pass through a health control checkpoint, therefore, even if you are travelling from a country of risk, you will not be required to show a vaccination certificate, although you must obtain a TRANSIT QR code by completing the FCS through the Spain Health Control Form (SpTH).
If the transfer involves passing through border control posts and, therefore, entry into Spanish territory, you must present the boarding pass or purchase receipt for your next or subsequent connecting flights at the health control checkpoint, to show that you have an international final destination, and you can consequently continue your trip as long as the layover period is less than 24 hours and you do not leave the airport grounds.
Whichever country you are arriving from, all passengers arriving in Spain by air or sea (ferry), including passengers making flight transfers and children under 12, must fill in a health control form before they start their journey. If you are arriving by plane, you can do this through the website https://www.spth.gob.es/ or on the Spain Travel Health app for Android or iOs devices. If arriving by ferry, you must fill it in at the following link https://spthm.puertos.es/ .
When you have filled it in, you will get a QR code which you must present both when boarding and when arriving in Spain. If you are arriving from a country/territory considered not to be a risk, you will get a FAST CONTROL QR code which will speed up the formalities when you arrive in Spain.
You can see the specific aspects of the regulations of each country and any possible exceptions on the map on the home page (https://travelsafe.spain.info/en/)
