Crossing from France into Spain August 2020 (1 Viewer)

[Peterd]

Brother in law travelling in early August can't find out what documents the Spanish will want to let him in. He hasn't been able to find out.
I know someone on here will know (or did I waste the sub)

bobandjanie gus-lopez Any idea ?

Not sure they will want any documents, in fact you may not even notice you've crossed the border. We have been in the Pyrenees a lot where you go from France to Spain and back again all the time and there are no border patrols etc. All the old customs checkpoints are derelict.

No presence on either side of the border crossing in the Pyrenees north of Pamplona on the 10th July

No checks as long as you don't go via Andorra.

He is now going to Cyprus on an all inclusive package holiday. He is going to lose his return ferry crossing fare to France as of course you may well still be able to take that ferry.

Sorry didn't see this. there is actally a similar form to the Uk that you are supposed to fill in online stating details but most spanish don't even know about it.I asked my neighbour last week for someone else as he has been into & out of France many times in the last month & he didn't even know it existed. As others have said you wouldn't even know where the border was on most roads

 

[Brendan + Kath]

Nothing needed for British Residents, at least until 31st Dec 2020, and maybe not after once they have entered Schengen. Individual countries are unlikely to start border checks to catch a few overstayers of the 90 days allowed in any one country. They are not doing it now even though the 90 day in one country applies to all EU Residents. Anyway for British and other non-EU REsidents e.g. Aus, US etc. the checks into and out of the Schengen area are more likely to be a deterrent.

I’m pretty sure he will need a negative test to enter Cyprus But I could be wrong!

Sorry to say Cyprus holiday now cancelled without loss.
Where next you say.
Butlins Skeggy of course for a mere £1400 for the week (self catering). 3 bed, 2 bathroom chalet.
We are going to set up for a month on our drive at no cost. The dog will be happy as he can sleep in the house (b*gger the van)
