Re: Border Control
I flew back to Spain on Friday. We used the non EU queue, my UK passport was not stamped but the other half had her Mexican passport stamped. I was asked for the PCR result, she wasn’t

Re: Border Control
I flew to Madrid on the 23rd with nothing more than a quick glance at my passport, this looked to be the case for everyone else on the flight from London. Yet, leaving from Malaga the week prior, it seemed everyone's passport was getting stamped out (mine was not as I am a Spanish resident). Perhaps the rules are being interpreted region-by-region? This wouldn't be the first time I've observed something similar in Spain!

Which airport was that ?. So they are not treating British passport holders the same as third country nationals.

Not all British passport holders will be treated the same. If they are Spanish resident no passport stamp if not passport is stamped. So it all depends on the status of the person. Covid test requirements etc vary for different countries also but whether that is country flown from or country of citizenship I don't know.

Both people clearly say that UK passports were not being stamped.

Re: Border Control
I returned to UK in late January.My British passport was stamped by Border Force on entry to UK.So British Nationals passports ARE stamped when arriving in our own country as well as arrival in Spain.

Re: Border Control
Yes I have read before of it happening but if resident it shouldn't. Why they stamp a UK citizens passport to enter the UK is beyond me but nothing surprises me. Some people think because we have Spanish residency we are somehow not British anymore. Beyond belief but as they say they walk amongst us.

Re: Border Control
Spanish border control shouldn't stamp the passport if they are residents (have a TIE or a green certificate/card).
When you get a TIE I guess your passport number is stored on the system and I guess when they swipe the passport the computer will tell them you're a resident so they know not to stamp. |

The problem with that is in the future at some point the passport number will change. Surely better to simply show TIE or green card along with the passport.
