Spain - covid testing- have I got this right?

[FoxInABox]

Sorry for another covid testing one!
After reading pages and pages of the gov website, I just want to check with the wisdom of mumsnet that I’ve got this right.

Travelling from UK to Spain- both adults fully vaccinated and have NHS app to prove.
DD13 will have a pcr test within 72 hours before we travel. Other two dc are under 12 so don’t need a test? Fill in forms online within 48 hours of departure.

Up to 72 hours before travelling back to the UK. Both adults, DD13 and DD11 will have a lateral flow test. DS8 won’t as he is under 10. Again fill in forms online.

Day 2 tests once home for all of us.

Is this right or am I missing something?

Sounds right to me!

That sounds right!

Day 2 tests need to be booked before you fill in the return forms, as you will need to add the booking references to the PLF.

Other than that, your summary is perfect (I believe).

Could you copy and paste it on the dozens of new threads a day asking the same thing please?

Thank you! Feel a lot better now!
There is a lot of rubbish to wade through on that gov site isn’t there, can understand the confusion. I feel like I could be the foreign travel adviser on tv after that

You forgot the sun lotion and the hat for the heat ;) apart from that … have fun !

Thank you, can’t wait to get there

Correct - we are here now (Ibiza)

Does anyone know how to print off your vaccine proof from the nhs app, or if it's possible? I just want a paper version as back up

you caan send it via email and print it, I also requested one directly to the NHS www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-pass/get-your-covid-pass-letter/

@EasterIssland thanks but I think I'm too late to request a paper one In the post! I'm on the app and have my qr code but can't see anywhere where I could email it or print it?

Don’t forget your Spanish and U.K. location forms.

It’s below the bit where you click for the qr code, you can either email or download a pdf

@FoxInABox ahh got it, thanks so much !

Thanks. Very clear summary. And where do you find out where to get the tests for return in your holiday destination country?

Either ask your hotel or you can take them with you and upload a photo of the result to company they email you your certificate.

Sorry to hijack but we fly out to Majorca next weekend with TUI. I've gone onto the site for the tests and the following packages are available. As we're double jabbed and no kids, do we only need the 'green' package even though Spain is amber? The only difference looks to be the day 8 PCR on return which we don't need to do as double jabbed? Confused!

Can I just check with those that have done this please?

DD due to fly back from visiting family in Spain on Saturday (16 unvaccinated). All fine going out and as you describe.

She has booked her LFT to come home and we have ordered a day 2 test which is here waiting for her. But I can't find where to register the Day 2 test.

The PLF seems to only ask for name/address/contact details - we've clicked all the way through a few times. I know that she needs to register it somewhere and I thought it was here?

Is it because we are more than 48 hours from travel? Will the PLF miraculously expand tomorrow?

Thanks!

@SnotandBothered the link should be on your conformation email you got with the tests when you ordered. We ordered from randox and that's where ours is

I ordered from Randox too.

Will have another look, but I think I have been confusing the PLF registration with the actual form. So I have ignored where it says 'start another form' thinking I'd already done it. I haven't...

Thank you

Op your posts have put my mind at ease

Thought we had forgotten something xx

@SnotandBothered it's the first bold paragraph on the email.
I've only done the first half of the plf so far can't complete it until two days before we go so I have no idea what it says on there ! But I'm sure I will end up getting confused about something on it

@Tequilamockinbird you got it right

you should be able to download it to apple wallet or similar or email it to yourself which makes things a bit easier.

Can anyone advise how long it took for their electronic covid pass to come through?

OP where did you get the info about LFD testing 72 hours before return flight? I can't find that, only that I need a PCR on day 2 after returning and that needs to be booked in advance.

Also where do you find out what threat/level Spain deems the UK to be?

We're flying back Sunday and there's nowhere on the plf that asks for my DC Randox codes although I've provided mine and DHs so not quite sure what to do tbh!
