I am leaving on October 10th for Sevilla. I will go through Passport Control in Madrid. I live in Mexico but I am an American citizen. I have been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. If all goes as planned I will even have my third booster shot a few days before I leave as it will have been 8 months since my second shot.
I will be leaving from Mexico. In order to fly internationally I will have had an Covid antigen test the day before departure.
My two questions:
Will I need to carry my actual Vaccination Record Card to present in Spain? I have a QR code from a website called Vaxyes that shows both doses of Pfizer the lot numbers, dates of vaccines and certification number from my Vaccine card and the date that the information was certified. I also have a photo of my vaccine card on my phone. My research shows that many websites like CBS news and others say that Vaxyes is a highly regarded app that verifies your vaccination record card.
Is this sufficient or will I need to carry my card?
My other question is regarding receiving my verification and QR code from the Spanish Government on the SpTH Spain Travel Health app. It seems to be a pretty easy and straightforward process. I just want to know how soon before I leave should I fill out the form and receive my QR code. Is it time sensitive? Example 48 hours before my flight? I have checked their website and cannot find this information. It may be there and it wouldn't be the first time I didn't see something that was right in front of me.
Any help answering these specific questions would be helpful from those who have already gone through the process. I do not mean to be rude but if you think, or read or have heard is not always correct. Thanks
Oh yes I have tried to call Iberia airlines about 20 times to get an answer from them but have not gotten through. I have also spoken to the Spanish Embassy and did not receive a satisfactory answer.
There may not be one and I may need to take my card.
