The pass/letter to Manx residents from the NHS Covid pass service for 2+2 vaccinated people are the same as the English NHS issue . The UK advice for Spain is here - https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements Visitor requirements are at https://www.mscbs.gob.es/en/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov/spth.htm including completing the https://www.spth.gob.es/ Travelling is more complicated these days! Hopefully the EU and the UK can reach agreement over the technical 3rd country requirements to ensure wide acceptance of the NHS Covid pass in the EU - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/24/nhs-covid-pass-still-not-recognised-in-some-eu-countries - this would by extension assist Manx travellers Good to see that IATA are accepting the NHS Covid pass though - https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2021-releases/2021-08-19-012/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I applied for the letter a few weeks ago and it hasn't arrived. Has anyone requested a letter and got theirs ? I've got the electronic version and downloaded the pdf, but I would like to have an authentic printed version rather than printing the pdf on my shit printer. I would like to have the printed version in case of Internet / website issues whist travelling. I know IOM can't use the app - but the app went offline a couple of months ago and people who relied on it were refused boarding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've downloaded the .PDF then you can't have any internet or website issues. It's a downloaded .pdf to your device that doesn't require the internet to open.

Doesnt remove the risk of low battery, lost / damaged phone Instead of having to justify myself I would be grateful for an answer to the question I asked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know IOM can't use the app - but the app went offline a couple of months ago and people who relied on it were refused boarding. The pdf you receive electronically is in a wholly different form and format to the official hard copy letter. I ordered both our letters on line via the web site ( as well as downloading from the website, storing, screen shooting and printing the online version ), one arrived, the other didn’t. I’m sure I did both properly, so in the end, 6 days before travel, I phoned. The second arrived the day before departure. So, phone, if you’ve got time, Save the pdf, screen shot it and print it. Im a great believer in belt and braces. I am currently in Spain. Arrived a week ago, My SpTH locator form ( which I had in e and hard formats ) wasn’t accepted at boarding. We’d upgraded cabin, number on form didn’t correspond with number on ticket. Took an heart stopping hour to get new codes and fill in two new forms due to poor mobile signal and no WiFi in Portsmouth International Terminal. Im travelling Barcelona London Barcelona next weekend. So I’ll see what happens then, with Ryanair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesypeas Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Has anyone been to Dubai recently? Regs say that UK NHS PCR test certification not allowed. Wondering if anyone has been, and what test they used. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Covid pass now available in app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trench12 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 NHS app doesn’t work for me as I was double jabbed in the South Atlantic, got booster on I o M, travel with paper copy of proof of vaccination issued by hospital where we were jabbed, have had no issues travelling or entering any destination to date. random check on Covid vaccination status on entering Spain last week, no problems encountered.... but I cannot get proof of booster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 It's there on the app for me. But the booster is only listed in the GP record - immunisations bit, and doesn't link to the covid pass itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trench12 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The GP record showing immunisations cannot be used as proof of vaccination( for international travel ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
