Despite not being a mandatory requirement or part of the documentation to travel to London, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends always traveling with medical and travel insurance.
This recommendation is based on the fact that although the European Health Card is still operational after Brexit, it provides great differences in its coverage. At Fit 2 Trip we offer you the travel insurance that suits your needs, whether for individual travellers, couples, or groups.
Currently, it is logical that you might doubt the documentation needed to travel to London due to the pandemic and Brexit. Luckily, at Fit 2 Trip we are up to date and we inform you of what you need to travel to London.
Since Brexit, you cannot make a trip to the United Kingdom only with your DNI, but you are also obliged to carry a passport with a minimum validity of 6 months from the date of entry.
The only Spanish citizens who can access the UK with their DNI, are those who reside in the United Kingdom before December 31, 2021 and who have applied for the "EU Settlement Scheme", this document grants the validity to enter the country until December 31 of 2025.
Likewise, if your trip has a stay of less than 180 days, a visa is not necessary to travel to the United Kingdom.
Now, what documentation do I need to travel to London due to COVID-19? As of March 18, 2022, all requirements and documentation for travel to London related to the pandemic have been lifted.
In other words, you will not have to do PCR tests, quarantine, or fill out forms to travel to London. Despite COVID-19, you can currently travel to the United Kingdom without any Covid documentation, you will only need your valid passport due to Brexit.
For the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain, it is essential to have travel insurance when travelling to London to cover your trip from start to finish. Despite the fact that the European Health Card is still operational, today it has many limitations, which is why it is better to take out comprehensive travel insurance.
All Fit 2 Trip policies offer the possibility of adding the necessary supports in case of an accident with medical expenses only or multi-risk cover, in case you need to go to private medical centres.
In addition, thanks to the COVID coverage, you will also have all those expenses derived from contracting the virus during the trip covered.
