Mainland Spain and the Canary Islands (including Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote) are on the amber travel list. Check the rules for returning home to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Adults entering the UK from an amber-list country no longer have to quarantine, if they have been fully vaccinated by the NHS. From 2 August, adults entering from the EU or the US will not have to quarantine if they have received a full EMA or FDA-recognised vaccination.
The quarantine requirement is also being lifted for all under-18s.
UK passengers will have to prove their vaccination status with either the NHS Covid Pass in England or Wales, an NHS letter in Scotland, or Covid certificate in Northern Ireland.
Everyone aged 11 or over will still have to take a private test within three days before returning – the UK government says this should preferably be a PCR test.
Another test is required two days after return for anyone aged 11 and over (12 and over in Scotland). Children aged 5-10 will also need to test on day two of return.
If you return from an amber list country and are not fully vaccinated (and are aged 18+) you will need to quarantine at home for 10 days and take an extra PCR test eight days after you get back.
