Britons issued Spanish holiday warning as they may be forced to follow £97 rule

Britons have been issued with a fresh holiday warning as they may be forced to follow a new £97 rule when basking in the Spanish sun this summer.

Border rules created following Brexit mean holidaymakers will have to show two additional documents to enter Spain this year.

The change was introduced as British tourists travel to countries in the EU’s Schengen Area.

The Foreign Office issued Britons heading for Majorca and other Spanish holiday destinations with more information about the additional border checks.

Britons are now required to prove they have at least €113.40, or £97, per person per day during their holiday stay.

A family-of-four staying for a week in Spain will have to show they have at least £2,716 at hand.

Spanish officials could stop Britons at the airport and ask them “to show you have enough money for your stay”, the UK Foreign Office has warned.

The other requirements are a valid return or onward ticket and proof of where the tourists are staying.

The Foreign Office added: “If you enter the Schengen area as a tourist, you may need to provide additional documents at the border.

“As well as a valid return or onward ticket, when travelling to Spain you could be asked to show you have enough money for your stay.”

Officials can also request “proof of accommodation for your stay, for example a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (such as second home) (or) an invitation or proof of address if staying with a third party, friends or family”.

The advice added: “A carta de invitation completed by your hosts is one of the options available.”

A total of 17.3 million travellers from the UK visited Spain.
