With the 90/180 day rule now in force (thanks, Brexit) it's vital that holidaymakers get their passport stamped entering and leaving the EU, so the authorities know how many days you have stayed in 180 (no more that 90 without a visa).

However, I can't recall my passport being stamped in the past, and as far as leaving Ibiza the "authorities" have been no more than a worker having a cursory glance at my passport along with my air ticket.

Must admit, I thought all this registering was done when they swipe your passport inbound and you use it at the gate homeward? Anyway, if you have 14 days in may, leave, don't have your passport stamped, and return for 14 days in September you will be illegal as they won't have known you left...so as far as they are concerned you have been in Ibiza for over three months...some explaining to do in their cozy little rooms?

Basically, anyone now going - can you inform us of the procedure at Ibiza airport on return r/e getting a stamp?

It's exactly the same as before, but they stamp your passport if you are from the UK. Same passport gates, same security etc.

I've never seen a passport gate outbound? Not one with an official stamping the passport? If they have one now then fair enough, they've adapted to the situation. So if we are in the line with, say, an Irish citizen, they will get waved through and we should get ours stamped...which is flaming embarrassing to say the elast!
 
You must have been to a passport gate if you are on an international flight - someone has to check your identity?

It's the same if you are EU or UK resident. My wife has dual nationality - using her EU passport they just don't stamp it. The stamp adds 2 seconds to the old process.

Inbound yes, but outbound as I alluded to, up the stairs and then you put your ticket face down on the reader, the gate lets you through, and there's a line for security and a security official briefly checks your passport with your ticket. That's it, no-one in customs/immigration uniform, no desk, no stamp.
Which is why I question how do we get it stamped outbound @ Ibiza?
 
UK government site saying "documentation issued within 48 hours." Another journalist traveled to Ibiza today. Daily Telegraph. Her test info was checked by Jet2 at check-in (who also are going with documentation line as per above) Only her QR code from the health form was checked on arrival. EasyJet linking to UK govt advice on their site too.

I had tests booked for Friday morning to get results on Saturday for our flight at 5.10pm going by the previous rules of swab within 48 hours. Randox say results are usually in 12-24 hours but on their terms it can be up to 11.59pm next day and now they seem to be under pressure. Too risky for me. So I'm changing our tests (again) to Thursday so we'll get the results sometime on Friday which should make for a better sleep that night.

Every flight I have taken for non Schengen aras there is always a passport desk before the gate. In Ibiza after security you go upstairs and the UK gates are right at the back. You go through passport control, they stamp your passport if from UK, or just Scan it if from EU and you go through to the gate. |It's all quick and easy.

Have you been to Ibiza since 1st January 2021?
 
Saw tweets that said BA refused to accept PCR tests TAKEN over 48 hours before arrival but they were able to get on the flight today with more recent Lateral flow tests.

This is getting ridiculous

Yeah I heard this too. Antigen tests were ruled out days ago. No idea what BA are doing as their twitter support refuse to give entry guidance and just direct people to the UK Govt website - which clearly states PCR/LAMP etc, results documentation issued in 48 hours and no antigen accepted. It's day one of the new rules, hopefully it settles soon.
 
Jet2 have just changed their guidelines again - Now saying test must be taken within 48 hours of your arrival.
 
Can someone help me here, if we get our second jabs at 7am Sunday and aren't flying till 2 weeks on the Sunday at 6pm are we OK? Technically that's over 14 days however don't know how perdantic they are with this

That's virtually impossible if your flight is late afternoon onwards

Aye. That’s my major problem now. High risk and it’s taking up too much of my time to get this all nailed down in time for a family of four to travel without getting screwed. Misinformation and confusion that could lead to a big loss of money and heartache. Im waiting a few more days to see if the rules are clarified then I’m going to have to make a final call on it.

Dunno if it's worth it, but maybe we should all pen a physical letter to the Spanish Tourism Office as I feel proper letters always carry more weight than e-mails (showing may age obvs) telling them to sort it out or they don't get our custom.
Frankly unless you have been fully jabbed, it's so confusing and difficult I can't see why anyone would bother with a holiday right now.
