When they arrive in Spain they will have to show their documentation and, if they do not have proof of the PCR, they will have to submit to one in addition to paying the fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/en\/2020\/11\/germany-will-provide-financial-assistance-to-airports-affected-by-covid-19.html\">Germany will provide financial assistance to airports affected by COVID-19.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview on Antena 3, Gonz\u00e1lez Laya said that &#8220;these are serious fines&#8221; but that they are not intended to be collected, but rather &#8220;dissuasive&#8221;, because what is intended is that &#8220;citizens commit to and co-responsibility with the effort to guarantee safe mobility&#8221;, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europapress.es\/nacional\/noticia-multas-viajeros-lleguen-espana-pcr-seran-6000-euros-exteriores-20201113111041.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">EuropaPress<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The obligation to have a negative PCR made in the 72 hours prior to the trip will come into force on November 23rd for travelers from 65 countries, including most European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will not be so for others like Greece, Finland or Norway, which have a lower level of incidence. The minister said that what is not possible is to have a &#8220;zero risk&#8221;, as is not the case among the Spanish themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related
