Because of the crisis of Covid-19, the Government of Spain has established the obligation to fill out a form for all tourists arriving in our country, in order to have greater control. Until now, to fill it out it was necessary to do it from the website established for it. But now we also have SpTH, a tool that will make things a little easier for you.
This is how SpTH works, the app to control tourism in times of Covid
What to do before the trip
The form in which you will have to expose all the information about your vacations will have to be filled in at most 48 hours before your arrival in Spain. Regardless of whether you have the app downloaded on your mobile, you can choose if you want to complete all the information from your smartphone or if you prefer to do it from a PC that is a little more comfortable for you.
In the form you will have to complete data on which flight you are going to arrive at Spain, which cities you intend to visit and where you are going to stay. In addition, they will also ask you some questions about your health and ask for your contact information. In this way, they will be able to know how to locate you in the event that it is necessary due to the health emergency.
Once you have finished filling in the form, the SpTH app will give you a unit’s QR code. In this way, once you arrive at your destination you won't have to spend any more time completing data, since you'll already have everything perfectly prepared.
What to do when you arrive at the airport
When you have landed at the destination airport, you will simply have to show your code at the corresponding controls. In this way, the authorities will have everything they need to locate you in the event that the health crisis becomes complicated or you have had contact with an outbreak.
Once you have passed through this control, the only thing left for you to do is enjoy your vacation. Of course, in the event that you have any kind of symptoms, you should contact the Health services. And, by having your data, the authorities will have a much easier time tracking down and isolating any possible contacts you may have had to prevent outbreaks.
As it is a government application, and filling out the form is mandatory, of course it is completely free. Of course, you will need your smartphone to have Android 6.0 or higher. You can download SpTH at the following link:
