Tourists in Spain face scrutiny over their finances – with new rules meaning visitors could be asked to prove they have ‘sufficient’ money for their stay

Millions of Britons will jet off to Spain this summer – but holidaymakers should make sure they’re financially solvent before they touch down or face being denied entry.

Tourists visiting for up to 90 days could be asked to present proof of having sufficient means for the duration of their proposed stay, after regulations were first introduced post-Brexit in 2021.

So, interns can’t go there unless they sneak in and apply for amnesty.
