Can you clarify this ?Hello friends,
I have a question re: the health QR codes. I have the qr for Spain. In the website i am reading that the gateway system is for all of the EU. So, that would seem to say if I have the Spanish QR code, it will be acceptable in all EU countries. Ivar, do you have insights into this?
Highly unlikely that the qr for Spain that you have will pass through the gateway system for all of the EU.have a question re: the health QR codes. I have the qr for Spain. In the website i am reading that the gateway system is for all of the EU. So, that would seem to say if I have the Spanish QR code, it will be acceptable in all EU countries.
There is a misunderstanding somewhere but it is difficult to tell where without knowing more about what you read on Re-open EU. The Spanish SpTH QR code is not an EU DCC QR code. Meaning: You cannot scan the SpTH QR into any of the EU Digital Covid certificate apps that the various EU countries developed, and when you scan it with one of their verification apps it will give you an error message or a not-valid message or just do nothing. Try it. You can download these apps from the AppStore; some can only be downloaded in the EU country whose government had developed them but a number of these apps can be downloaded without geo-restriction, for example the two French apps.On the App: Re-Open EU
It's a good enough explanation. The main thing is that the Spanish QR code and the French QR code that you, as a non-EU traveller, get are fundamentally different. The French QR code fits into the EU wide system, the Spanish QR code doesn't, it is a thing of its own and only good at Spanish airports.But please do not blindly accept my explanation
I also flew to France and then took a train to SJPP and walked to Roncesvalles. Didn't have that Spanish QR. There is no place and nobody who could ask you for that. Just strange looking sheep near the border (see below).Hello, can someone help clarify the SpTH app. We are traveling from the U.S. to Paris today. I have the France Anticovid App to get into France. We will stay in France two days then take a train to St Jean Pied De Port to start the Camino. When I enter the information into the SpTH app it wants the flight number. Any thoughts on what goes there. I was going to add the train number but was not sure. Thanks for all the help.
It is not required for land travel into Spain.Hello, can someone help clarify the SpTH app. We are traveling from the U.S. to Paris today. I have the France Anticovid App to get into France.

Love the sheep. I hope they are around when we walk through. Thanks for the heads up and pic. Take care.I also flew to France and then took a train to SJPP and walked to Roncesvalles.

Also when landing in France nobody asked me for my sworn statement (which was a bit disappointing). Don'tworry! Have a safe flight!

It says – All passengers arriving in Spain by air or sea must fill in a health control form before travelling. There ARE exceptions. So @Tincatinker statement is at best incomplete at worst misleading. I’m sorry but in my opinion a Moderator on this forum is seen as a source of good information and as someone who corrects other’s misunderstandings. Their statements carry more weight. Even if this was intended as a joke I still think it should be removed.“All persons traveling to Spain…must complete the Health Control Form”. There are no exceptions. Nor are there any controls or verification procedures in place for people who insist in believing that the Camino Santiago starts in St Jean pd Porteand choose to walk across the border..
All persons travelling to Spain from another country
