New Rules whe arriving from Amber list countries

[BeachLife]

From 19th July you will no longer need to quarantine on arrival from Spain - If double vaccinated

You will still need a negative PCR test before coming home and a day 2 test when you are back. But best of all no quarantine.

Progress at last

Apparently it only applies to people who have been vaccinated in the uk and does not include people who are vaccinated abroad.

That's great news because it wasn't the tests before or after which were the pain it was the 10 day's quarantine.

Doesn't it just say negative test before flight home? doesn't state PCR. You can buy fit to fly lat flow tests to take with you and email photo of results to the company upon use. Then the supply you (if negative) with a certificate to show at the airport 🤷‍♂️

I'm bringing out these for flight back to UK

£29 each seemed super reasonable, and trusted reviews etc seem legitimate

Correct.

Obviously Boris and his blunderers feel the U.K. nhs vaccine is special. The EU obviously secured their vaccines and certification from a market stall.

It applies to UK residents only......if you are British, but have Spanish residency, you will be treated as a third country entry....

I don’t think anyone was suggesting that, the nhs are just administering the jabs the vaccine belongs to multi national pharmaceuticals. One thing the nhs are providing is a very detailed vaccine certificate that I think is available in several languages, speaking with EU friends whilst there has been much talk no one has anything similar so far, probably because very few countries have a national health system but a private mix which in these times must be problematic. That said I’ve seen much knock off items at SP market and the Gabe over the years so Tizer jabs might be on the way.

I can only assume you’re talking to the unlucky EU friends then.
Personally I, and all of those who’ve had both jabs locally, have been in possession of our EU digital covid certificates for some time.
People were struggling to download them off the mobile app, but they are easily accessed off a pc. The local Kwik save is now helping those without a pc access them.
I think you’ll find the reasoning behind making it NHS only is more ‘petty minded brexit thinking’ than anything to do with efficiency of the NHS certification over its EU counterpart.

Could it not be that the UK Government cannot check the authenticity of vaccination certificates purchased in Benidorm market?

It says it all about EU bureaucracy if you can print off an official document that states your vaccinated and no longer a danger to other people at the Kwik save in GA.

As for my friends all would say they are Catalonian or Spanish even my French  friends I don’t know one that would consider themselves an EU friend.
