In short: Order reinstating temporary border controls at Spanish airports and ports for passengers from Italy, valid for 30 days (8 August – 7 September 2026).
Spain's Interior Ministry will conduct inspections at borders for all travelers arriving from Italy by air or sea. This measure addresses security concerns linked to migration pressure in the central Mediterranean route.
Who is affected? All travelers: tourists, residents, workers, asylum seekers, regardless of nationality.
What happens at the border? Officials verify legal status, Schengen circulation rights, and international protection requests. This is not automatic deportation: the order respects fundamental rights.
Does this affect pending asylum applicants? Asylum seekers in process retain the right to apply; this order does not specifically deny them.
