Spain issues statement after Brit holidaymakers warned of £85 a day rule
03.08.2022 - 10:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Spanish officials have issued a statement following reports UK travellers could have to spend £85 a day to visit the country. Holidaymakers had been left fearing they might not be able to afford visits to the popular destination due to a new set of policies.
It was reported tourists would need to provide proof of sufficient funds for more than £85 a day to cover the length of their stay, the Liverpool Echo reports. But Spain has now hit back at the reports and clarified the rules facing Brits travelling to the country.
The Express reported that the UK Foreign Office had updated its travel advice for Spain last month. The change meant visitors from the UK may be asked to prove they have at least €100 (£85.22) to spend in Spain per day, and a further minimum of €900 (£766.94), or its legal equivalent in foreign currency.

The advice said: "At Spanish border control, you may need to show a return or onward ticket; show you have enough money for your stay; show proof of accommodation for your stay, for example, a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (eg second home), or an invitation from your host or proof of their address if staying with a third party, friends or family. The Spanish government has clarified that the ‘carta de invitation’ is one of the options available to prove that you have accommodation if staying with friends or family.”
But now, the nation's tourist office said it wanted to reassure visitors they would not have to demonstrate proof of having that amount of cash to cover their stay, reports SomersetLive. A statement on behalf
