Spain Entry Requirements
The PLF Spain, or "SPTH Spain", is a passenger locator form that must be completed by all passengers travelling to Spain. This form includes basic personal information such as your name, contact details, and travel itinerary.
As of January 18, 2021, all passengers arriving in Spain from a non-EU country must complete and submit a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) no more than 48 hours before their arrival.
It is important to note that this form must be completed before you arrive in Spain, and you will need to present it to the authorities upon arrival.
Failure to do so may result in delays or denial of entry into the country.
If you are travelling to Spain, you will need to complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF). This form is used to help the Spanish authorities track any potential COVID-19 cases and ensure that anyone who may have been exposed to the virus can be quickly identified and contacted.
Note! The PLF must be completed before you travel, and you will need to present it to the authorities upon arrival in Spain.
Once you've completed the PLF, you'll receive a confirmation email with a QR code. This QR code must be presented upon arrival in Spain. You may be asked to show additional documentation, such as proof of travel insurance, at the border.
Required documents for PLF Spain
When you arrive in Spain:
- you'll need to present your PLF to the authorities.
- they may also ask for your passport and other travel documents.
Be sure to have these documents ready before you travel.
The PLF is an important part of Spain's efforts to keep its citizens safe. It helps the authorities track down passengers in case of an emergency, and it helps them contact you if there's a problem with your travel plans.
If you have any questions about the PLF, be sure to ask your Spanish consulate or travel agent. They can help you fill out the form and make sure you have all the required documents. Safe travels!

In order to complete the Spain Passenger Locator Form (PLF), you will need to provide the following information and documents:
