Minor but important modification: the vaccine passport in the EU is for *residents* of the EU, not *citizens*. If/when I travel, I will be using my EU passport, but my Canadian vaccination data (in whatever form that is delivered after my 2nd dose).
I verified this information with both Spain and Ireland — (Can I enter With my EU PP even if my own country of residence remains in some form of emergency measures? Yes. — Will I need to provide my vaccination verification to the Irish PP office or some health official in Spain to obtain the vaccine PP as an EU citizen? No; only if I’ve been vaccinated in the EU as a resident therein. — What non residents need now is a negative PCR test done within X amount of time of boarding the plane — right now that’s 72 hours. And I recommend that any prospective traveller also perform a rapid test within 12 hours of departure — for your own peace of mind. These tests are being offered freely at walk-in locations by public health offices in all regions across Canada, for example).
Different countries have different entry requirements, even in the EU. Greece, for example, is not requiring a PCR test prior to arrival there. Considering that folks have different points of entry to arrive at a camino start, I recommend that they:
*consult the specific entry requirements for the country that will be the port of entry (Portugal and France are easy alternates for those who will walk in Spain.
*consult the travel restrictions for your return to your country of residence.
*buen camino*.
