Brits travelling to Spain warned of new rule change that could see them denied entry
Spain now requires British travellers to show €122.10 a day or €1,089.90 total, and officials say those who cannot may be refused entry.
- Spain raised financial entry requirements for British nationals in 2026, citing adjustments to the country's minimum wage as the driving factor.
- Since the Brexit transition period ended on January 1, 2021, the UK became a "third state" outside the EU, subjecting British visitors to standard Schengen Area border rules requiring proof of financial means.
- Spain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed financial thresholds requiring cash, traveler's cheques, or credit cards with bank statements; however, "Bank letters or online bank statements will not be accepted."
- Nationals of "third states" may be denied entry to Spain if they fail to meet the updated financial requirements, creating immediate consequences for unprepared British travelers.
- Britons should also prepare for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System launching later in 2026, requiring visa-exempt travelers to pay €20 for entry permission to 30 European countries.
