Spain - passports are being stamped

[BigDean]

Just for info. Landed in Spain (via airplane) for first time this year. As well as electronic scanning of passport, also physically stamped with entry date.

Looks like the 90 is 180 is going to be monitored/enforced here.

I imagine it will be enforced everywhere now.

I imagine it will be enforced everywhere now.

Yep. It’s what people voted for!

Yep. It’s what people voted for!

Only a tiny percentage of what I voted for

 

[Hirsch]

I didn't vote for travel restrictions but if they aren't big enough to see past that then their loss.

I might want to stay longer than 90 days if so I’ll move there

 

[glenn2926]

I don’t want or need to stay longer than 90 days so am quite happy with the arrangement.

 

[Rapido925M]

I never wanted to stay there until I got a job in Marbella: then it was very convenient not to have to apply for a visa etc.
There are other reasons for travel other than holidays!

It’s like everything in life you have to go with what is best for you not everyone else

3rd December '20 entered France, Apart from a cursory look at passport and necessary
papers to transit France at Dieppe I never had to produce any documents until the return
to Dieppe 89 days after Brexit ie 30 March '21. My passport was stamped. Actual wording
was '30.03.2021 90 DIEPPE'. I had previously made enquiries about penalties for exceeding
the 90 days. Immigration wouldn't commit themselves (not unexpectedly). The local Prefecture was
Covid closed so they couldn't be approached for info or pleading a Force Majeure exemption,
or a special circumstance extension.
Slow unhindered drive through France. Entry into Spain via the Somport was uneventful, no checks
Murcia was well populated with motorhomes both on sites and wilding, I stayed in the Murcia Region for
about 3 months, not a single contact with Local/National Police or Guardia Civil.
PCR test £85 required on return from Spain to France, no check at Somport Tunnel.
Antigen test at Dieppe was gratis, courtesy of the French government.
Day 2 and 8 PCR tests for UK were £160, the results were never received, I posted
numerous reminder emails to the so called Testers, later sent hard copies to my bank as
evidence for a chargeback, credited with the money a couple of days later.
With the benefit of hindsight I would have updated my other passport (dual national)
and my EU ID card but who was to know that all this green amber red brown s**t was going
to hit the fan over Xmas eh!

Our passports were date stamped in mid April at Santander port after spending six months in Spain.
