One of the measures that states took when the Pandemic started was to close borders. Limitation of people’s movement was an urgent need in order to avoid spreading the virus over countries that were not that affected.
Limitations are being adapted to the economic needs of some sectors such as tourism, but also according to the concrete situation of the state and the health control advances. These changes especially affected people who want to study abroad in Spain. Restrictions are changing daily so we urge students to check with the Spanish Consulate before they travel. This information does not include testing measures which are constantly updated.
