Might even push our luck and see if we can sort passports for our dogs while there got Uk ones but covid hit so never had chance to use them up to date with rabies so we shall see

I very much doubt you need anything for entry to Spain. Mainly because absolutely nobody will know you have entered Spain. There haven’t been manned borders for many years now.

I think you would be surprised now as since around 2015 they have been refurbishing many of the old derelict & abandoned border posts ,especially on the French side, which i put down to the immigrant problem.On the spanish side they have always used multiple overhead cameras on obscure back roads.

Sorry just checked antigen test which I thought was to show if you’ve got antibodies in your blood, however apparently it’s also classed as a LFT so you can get that done quicker and a lot cheaper. Thank you for mentioning it.

Does anyone know for sure if the LFT tests have to be witnessed?
The supplier (testing for all ) sells both witnessed and unwitnessed.
We’ve ordered the unwitnessed ones as they are cheaper but since heard different things on different forums .
No mention either way on the french gov site it only states proof of negative test , which we will have technically.

The tests are done at home , photo of LFT uploaded to testing company site and certification received by text message.
border police would therefore be looking at a certificate on my phone ?

The tests have to be 'confirmed' by a third party, ie the company you bought them from, but they don't actually have to see you do them, ie not 'witnessed'. You do the test yourself (not witnessed) then submit the result to the company along with a photo to show the outcome and in due course they will check the evidence you have submitted and issue an e-certificate. The certificate is what you show the border force etc.

We took the shuttle Mon night and the border staff were not interested in seeing our test certificates, only wanted passports and vaccination proof

We were the only motorhome in the car park and loading lanes

Just a quick update. We used eurotunnel Wednesday pm having uploaded Simply Test Me Cert ,Vaccination certs and French sworn statement.
Our border collies have Belgian passports so all good there. We were reminded though that all future rabies jabs have to be done in the EU.
Border control only checked gas and not 25kg dog food , sausages, bacon and cheese ....... obviously ‘IF ‘ we had them on board

We made the shuttle Wednesday, stayed in an aire Neufchatel on bray then just north of Bordeaux. Now in Spain just west of Zaragoza, spending the night with the troglodytes.

We stayed there a few years ago. Strange little carved out cave homes aren’t they? I seem to remember a couple of decent bars there.

We’re giving it serious thought.
We’ve been 18 months UK locked.
Anyone else thinking of going over soon?

Train booked for August
