Millions of holidaymakers are set to flock to Spain this summer, with the popular European destination remaining a firm favourite among British travellers.

Before Brexit, UK visitors could travel to Spain with relative ease. However, since Britain's departure from the European Union, a raft of new regulations have come into effect.

For example, your passport must show a 'date of issue' within 10 years of your arrival date, and if you renewed your passport before October 1, 2018, it may carry a date of issue exceeding 10 years, making it invalid for entry into the Schengen zone (which includes Spain).

Furthermore, those travelling on a British passport are only permitted to visit the Schengen area for 90 days within any 180-day period.

Additionally, upon entering Spain, travellers will be required to scan their passport, have a photograph taken of their face, and scan four fingerprints under the new Entry/Exit System (EES).

Once registered under the EES, your digital record remains valid for three years, or until your passport expires should that fall within the three-year window.

For instance, border control may request a return or onward ticket and/or proof of valid travel insurance.

You may also be asked to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds for your stay, along with proof of accommodation.

This may include a hotel reservation or the address of a property you own.

Alternatively, it could be an invitation letter if you are staying with friends, family or a third party, such as a 'carta de invitation' completed by your hosts.
