The BOIB reports that the Government has removed point 4 of the December 14 decree, by which established restrictions on entry to the Balearic Islands for people coming from other autonomous communities, Ceuta and Melilla as a result of the declaration of the state of alarm.
From 12th April until 22nd May any citizen from the peninsula or from abroad can enter Ibiza and Formentera without justified cause. Regardless of the 14-day incidence of the autonomous community the traveller comes from, everyone who arrives in the Pitiusas must have a negative PCR or TMA carried out 72 hours prior to arrival, except for children under 6 years.
If they do not have a negative test on arrival at a port or airport in Ibiza, they must take a rapid antigen test on the spot and in the event of refusal, will be obliged to remain in quarantine for 10 days at their accommodation on the island.
Foreign travellers will have to show a negative PCR if they come from countries considered at risk, which are the majority.
From 22nd May
From Sunday 22nd May, the Balearic Islands will not require a covid-19 test for vaccinated Spanish tourists entering the archipelago through its ports and airports, or those coming from autonomous communities with an incidence of fewer than 60 cases in 14 days, as announced by the autonomous president, Francina Armengol.
Vaccinated Spaniards will have to have received at least the first dose 15 days before their arrival on the islands to be able to enter without having to present any proof, Armengol said at the Fitur tourism fair, which was opened this Wednesday in Madrid by the King and Queen of Spain.
Domestic tourists coming from communities where the incidence of cases per 100,000 inhabitants is below 60 cases in 14 days will not have to present negative tests at ports and airports, even if they are not vaccinated.
With this change of approach, unvaccinated domestic travellers will be able to present a negative antigen test result as valid for access to the Islands.
From 22nd May
Which people are exempted from presenting a PCR test?
- Those people from Spanish territory who have already had the illness.
- Passengers who have received one or two doses of the vaccine 15 days prior to their trip.
- Passengers travelling to the Islands from autonomous communities with an accumulated incidence of less than 60.
