The antigen test (= lateral flow test) is cheaper as it does not have to go to a lab to be processed and you get the result faster for the same reason. That's what I'll be having if we can sort out the dog's AHC.

You are having a joke surely??
Not at all. The media are very quick to speculate on changes to covid rules long before they are published by the Government. You only have to look at the most recent changes to entry and exit rules to see this. There are many other examples of them getting it wrong too.

Gus, the UK Gov website changed again last night at 20:11. For UK residents accompanying EU citizens on travelto Spain, the 'recent recovery from COVID' remains valid

Steve
If travelling directly in to spain by sea or air this is what the spanish gov.es site states.

ATTENTION !!!, if you travel to Spain under point k) of the section "Entry requirements for entry in Spain from third countries, you can only do so if you have a certificate of being fully vaccinated with an EMA/OMS authorized vaccine, and the last dose was administered more than 14 days ago.For persons resident in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland coming directly from this country, in addition to the vaccination certificate, diagnostic certificates of NAAT tests (nucleic acid amplification tests, e.g.: RT-PCR, RT-LAMP, TMA, HAD, NEAR, CRISPR, SDA.....) will also be considered valid.


It doesn't matter who you are travelling with. If travelling in from France by road it appears far easier to comply with due to it being another eu state. Having said that much would depend on whether they wanted you to be out of the UK for a specific period before entering spain?.

Do you have a link for the booking page, you can share? I don't seem to be able to find one either via ASDA or Eurofin?

That's not what I was referring to, Gus. The UK Gov website makes specific reference to EU citizens and their family members being admitted with a 'recovery from COVID' certificate. Your quote refers to Third Countries, who, by definition, are not EU Members

this from the french embassy website


Prior to departure, people authorized to enter France from the UK will have to present to the transport company (depending on their situation):

For fully vaccinated people:

  • Travellers (12 years old or more) have to provide the result of a negative PCR or antigen test (in paper or digital format) carried out less than 48h hours prior to departure.
  • A sworn statement certifying the absence of COVID-19 symptoms and of any contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 in the 14 days prior to their crossing.
  • Proof of vaccination
If you are travelling with a printed PDF proof of vaccination status, it must date from 1 November to ensure that the certificate can be scanned successfully. Your NHS appointment card from vaccination centres is not designed to be used as proof of vaccination and should not be used to demonstrate your vaccine status.

Valid only on condition that it shows a full course of vaccination, i.e.:

  • 1 week after the 2nd dose for double-dose vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca);
  • 28 days after the dose for single-dose vaccines (Johnson & Johnson);
  • 1 week after the dose for vaccines for people who have previously had COVID-19 (only 1 dose necessary).
France recognizes the AZ-Covishield vaccine, so it is possible to travel to France with this type of vaccine if you are fully vaccinated.

People vaccinated in the UK can import their NHS QR code into the TousAntiCovid app. You can also present a digital or paper NHS certificate showing your full vaccine status.

Yes that is quite correct along with permanent residents.they cannot discriminate against other eu member citizens from schengen states.

But it is quite bizarre, Gus, especially because of the 'and Family Members' [even if they are, as individuals, Third Country nationals]. COVID doesn't discriminate between targets based on their citizenship, so, even though I stand to benefit from the 'EU citizens and Family Members' ability to show a certificate of recovery from COVID at the Border, I as an individual at the same place, at the same time, on the same date, with the same health conditions, would be denied this option!

I shall celebrate this small advantage ...
