Breaking News - €6k fine for arriving in Spain without a PCR test

BREAKING NEWS – There will be a €6k fine for anyone arriving in Spain without a negative PCR test, according to the Foreign Minister

Tourists and travellers arriving in Spain could face fines up to €6000 if they cannot produce a negative PCR test, according to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya. In addition to the monetary sanctions, they will be required to undergo a rapid coronavirus test to determine whether they are negative.

“They are serious fines, dissuasive fine,” the minister said in a statement to Antena3.

As of November 23, a negative PCR test will be required of all travellers coming from any of the 65 ‘at-risk’ countries.

In an announcement to the Councillors of the Autonomous Communities on Wednesday, November 11, Illa confirmed that Spain will require a negative PCR- type coronavirus test from November 23 for all travellers coming from countries with high-risks of coronavirus in the 72 hours prior to arrival.
