Travel to Tenerife

[McGuire]

My son in law is an EU citizen living in England. His child is aged 13 with a British passport. The child has only had one vaccination but has a certificate of recovery in last 180 days. Can he take him to Tenerife? I can’t make sense of information on Spanish website. Desperate for help as hoping to travel on 19 February. Website says

I would say no because the child doesnt have a vaccination certificate, but you need to see what the * means, i cant see that info on the photo??

& whats a SPTF form??

@Ilikewinter

& whats a SPTF form??

It's a health form that needs to be filled out before travel

No. A non-EU citizen over 12 travelling to Spain for a non-essential reason must be at least 14 days post second vaccine.

@McGuire I'd say he can travel as he has the certificate of recovery

His fathers an EU citizen, the rules differ slightly from what I've read

The way I read it is he can enter as the child of an eu citizen, but it will be up to the airline too because they can decide who to board,

yes I would understand this to be row A as he is the family member of a EU citizen. So either vaccination or proof of recovery or test, plus the form.
Not clear what constitutes family member but I would have thought 'son' would be good enough.

Airlines have to follow nation's rules but I would make sure your son has a print out of this because not all airline staff understand all the rules (which do change all the time tbf)

Ooh i change my mind!!!
So yes I think he can travel under row A .

He can travel as a family member of an EU citizen. Make sure the EU citizen is travelling on their EU passport though, and have proof of the relation between the two.

That said, I’ve heard many airlines are adopting a blanket rule on flights departing the UK, so they might not allow him to board the plane… I’d get confirmation in writing from the company that he’ll be allowed to travel.
