OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Covid certificates to pass from Spain to France to start Camino

[KarmaCamino]

Hi All

I am arriving in Pamplona from the UK on the 27th of April to spend a few days there then traveling by bus/taxi to SJPP.
I just wondered if my covid certificate/codes that I will have for Spain will allow me to enter France or do I have to do something extra?
Many thanks
Viv

I was asked for the QR code today, in Spain.

We just took the bus direct from Pamplona to SJPdP today. No COVID pass needed to cross from Spain to France, and there is no masking mandate in France as in Spain either. No one checked our Spanish SpTH QRS codes when we bought our ticket or when we boarded the bus, though we did obtain it before flying into Spain from the US.

Is anything similar to the Spanish SpTH form needed if taking the bus from Portugal into Galicia to start walking? The SpTH is geared only for flights and the site won't allow one to submit it without flight numbers entered. I was hoping that these requirements wold have been dropped or clarified by now, but the situation still has its share of holes. Anyone on the ground over there encountered this sitution and how was it handled? Leaving in a few days for visiting with European family across multiple Mediterranean countries before starting to walk on May 14th.

Arrived Santiago yesterday and had to show both my Spanish Health QR code and my vaccination certificate

Where/how did you get your Spanish Health QR?

Where/how did you get your Spanish Health QR?

Filled out online 48 hours before flight. You can start filling out the form in advance, but you can’t finish filling it out until 48 hours ahead of flight. I also had to show it at checkin in Canada( wasn’t able to successfully upload the code when checking in online for flight)

Look to the consulate for info but I am understanding that France has dropped the passport requirements except for high risk facilities such as nursing homes.

At the airport?

The only time you will be asked for the QR code is at the airport on arrival. Travelling by car, train, or on foot between EU countries - no one will be checking. That said - I would still have the QR code and your vaccination and/or COVID test results handy - JUST IN CASE. If you are taking a taxi or bus to SJPDP - no one will be checking and you will only be there for a day - so no need to worry. And no one will be checking when you walk back into Spain.

kje, do you mind sharing the bus information from Pamplona to SJPdP? More specifically, how many services per day and at what times? Thank you.

It is once daily 1:45pm and when I took it, it was 5 Euros. By the way - when you need this type of information - the easiest way to get it is by using the rome2rio website or download the app for when you travel. It gives you most, if not all, your travel options, schedules, fares, and even links to the companies providing the services. I always use Rome2Rio when planning any trip to Europe and am now starting to even use it at home (although at home I usually have my car or fly).

The bus was scheduled with Alsa bus lines via their website the night before. They had downloadable tickets. They provide one bus/day for now and it leaves at 12 noon from the Pamplona bus station and arrives in SJPdP at 1345. Our bus only had about a dozen people on it. We paid 21 euros each.

Ah... maybe I read the wrong column when typing! I paid just 5 Euros last year! Crazy!
