Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

[kyle]

According to this map all europe is open to aussies without testing or quarantine so no need for vax certificate.

However as cases are soaring in Europe things may change again. hopefully not as we will be in Spain in 2 weeks.

Thanks. I'm more concerned about whether that particular health form needs to be completed prior to arrival.

This is what it says on the government page: "Passengers arriving in Spain by AIR OR SEA from these countries will NOT be required to present the SpTH health control form or a COVID-19 certificate." Ministerio de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar Social - Professionals - Travel and COVID-19

For many obvious reasons: available time, available routings, personal priorities. And until recently (and perhaps still in some places), the fact that you can move freely within Schengen now doesn't mean you have guaranteed full access to all facilities unless you achieve the use of a local covid-pass app. Most reports seem to indicate that most venues even in difficult countries are not troubled by an Australian-issued international Covid certificate, but the official rules aren't always accepting it, so you could occasionally still have problems.

Glad that the places I'm visiting only have mask rules on some settings left, not check in apps or proof of vax. The question I have relates to entry to Spain as I couldn't finish the form once I selected the flight's origin as EU/Schengen.

Sorry, I meant to respond to you’re earlier post. My partner flew BER to MAD just a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit unclear but in the end it looked like flying within the Schengen zone doesn’t require a declaration and no one checked/asked for one at either end.

That's fantastic. Thank you.

Replying to my own question, can now confirm that once landed at Barcelona airport from Switzerland, there's no passport control nor was there any sort of health check or declaration. Happy days!
