Since Monday of this week, all travelers coming into Spain by sea or air must present a negative PCR test result, carried out no more than 72 hours before arrival.
Some countries, such as France, reimburse the cost of the private test, but most of them do not. In Sweden, the price of a PCR test can be more than â¬200. Spanish embassies and consulates are receiving a growing number of queries from residents abroad seeking answers to their questions regarding where, when and how to take the test.
