  • Travel insurance covering 30,000 EUR minimum for Schengen
  • Hotel reservations or invitation letter from Spanish host

    Entry requirements for traveling with pets (dogs and cats)

    Travelers should check with their airline for pet transport requirements before traveling, as policies differ. Dogs and cats traveling into the EU from outside the EU must meet entry requirements that vary by country of origin. Pets must be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. Additional requirements may apply depending on where travel originates. Travelers can check the specific requirements for their country of origin on the EU government's pet travel page. Travelers bringing other animals should check the national rules of their destination country directly.
