Border control after Brexit
The UK is outside Schengen, so flights to Spain clear passport control and customs on arrival, at the executive terminal. UK nationals are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System on their first entry. Customs and passports →
On arrival
Your car waits at the aircraft, and your hotel, apartment or villa can be ready before you land. Stays →
