It is crucial to remain informed on both the prerequisites for visiting Ibiza, Spain and any potential restrictions once there. Here are some links and informational elements to keep in mind because the Pandemic is always evolving. If you know what to expect before you leave and can efficiently organize what you need, you can reduce the stress associated with your vacation experience.
Health Control Measures to Ibiza
The health control measures demonstrate how safe tourism is. Regardless of their nationality, age, or any other factor, the Balearic Islands require that all tourists coming from other international countries complete a health check or a passenger locator form. It is important to emphasize that this form is only required of international visitors passing through a Spanish airport on their way to another country. However, the requirements of this form are waived if the transit period is under 24 hours and the passengers do not leave the airport premises.
To check in and fly, each form must be accurately completed in its entirety on an individual basis. A single trip can only be connected to a form at a time.

Need of diagnosis certificate and vaccination certificate
Any traveler entering Spain from another nation must provide one of the following documents:
1. A COVID-19 vaccination record certificate: Valid for up to a year following the date of vaccination and beginning 14 days after the completion of the entire immunization schedule (x2). For entry into Spain, children under the age of 12 do not require any COVID-related papers.
2. A diagnosis of a current illness that is negative: Required 48 hours before arrival in the Balearic Islands or a quick antigen test, 72 hours before arrival.
3. A document attesting to your health after you’ve been exposed to the sickness: Corresponds to a test conducted between the date of the first positive result of an active infection diagnostic test (NAAT) and the date of the test, but not more than 180 days later or no sooner than 11 days after that date.
Form of Documents
The documents, which can be submitted in paper or electronic form, must be originals and written in one of the following languages: Spanish, English, French, or German.
With their national identity card or a current passport, citizens of the European Union’s member states as well as those of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland may enter Spain. When a minor travel alone without a parent and has an identity document, one of the parents must give their consent.
With a valid passport, family members who are not citizens of a Member State of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland may enter. They might require an entry visa depending on their nationality unless they hold a valid residency card as a relative of an EU citizen.
Final Note
The Department highly advises that you purchase comprehensive travel insurance before leaving, which will cover all out-of-country medical expenses, including medical evacuation or repatriation, repatriation of remains, and legal expenses. Check for any exclusions and, in particular, confirm that the activities you plan to engage in are covered by your insurance.
Happy and secure travels to you!
