In the framework of the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, every traveler must have the possibility of being affected abroad by restrictions of any kind that impede or alter their freedom of movement.
In general, travelers are responsible for the eventual consequences of their decision to travel. The capacity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation and the network of Spanish Embassies and Consulates to provide emergency consular assistance is limited, it applies exclusively to Spanish travelers abroad and cannot, in any case, replace the capacities of other national health systems, require exceptions to the regulations of third countries, facilitate or defray the possible extension of stays abroad, whether voluntary or forced, or replace the operation of travel agencies or transport companies.
For this reason, it is reiterated to all travelers, regardless of their destination or the circumstances of their trip, the recommendation to stay informed at all times, to travel wisely and to have insurance that covers all eventualities during the trip.
However, Saida Housing World will try from this page to update the regulations of each destination, in their desire to make things easier for our clients.
We recommend that you review the travel restrictions applied by the countries you plan to travel to. See the travel news page provided by IATA for more information. Please check the specific entry requirements for the country you plan to travel to and review the passport, visa and health travel document requirements .
