Hi All, 

Quick question we need to come to Playa Blanca in the next 10days to do some work on our villa, can anyone tell me if we need pcr tests etc before we arrive? We have both had 2 vaccinations. 

Kind regards 

Katie and Mark

Hi

You will need a PCR test 72 hours before arrival time , Covid vaccination passports have not yet been agreed between UK and EU

Plus you need to be Lanzarote / Spanish resident to be allowed to get on the plane, unfortunately just having a villa in Lanzarote is not enough

Hope that helps

Larry

I think you need a test within 72 hours of arriving even if you have had a vaccination and one when you get back after 5 days- best to google it first tho Regards

Hi

If you have a Covid certificate from the NHS app you just need to complete the Spanish Locator form 48 hours before arrival into Lanzarote and you are good to go !

Hi Panama, we went to have a look at Manea last weekend and it was still closed but things are changing on a daily basis here. Bars and restaurants are slowly starting to open. Cheers, Ashley.
