UK holidaymakers planning a trip to
Spain this summer are being told they'll need more than just their luggage and passports. The
UK Foreign Office has said that tourists will need 'additional documents' when visiting Spain. Since
Brexit , the rules for Brits travelling to countries in the Schengen area have changed. Now those coming from outside the zone, including the UK, may face extra checks at the border. Apart from passports, UK travellers are being told to bring two more documents with them on the plane, ready to show at border control. This includes a valid return or onward ticket, such as the return leg of a plane ticket. Travellers might also need to show proof of where they're staying, like a hotel booking receipt or an address if they're visiting a second home or
Friends or family. They can show a paper copy of their booking or an email on their phone. On top of these two documents, holidaymakers might also be asked to prove they have enough money for their stay. The Spanish government's website says the current minimum amount expected per person per day is €113.40, which is about £97, reports Birmingham Live .

You can use cash, checks or credit cards to prove this. Not many people have been asked for this proof lately, but it's good to know. The UK Foreign Office says tourists might need extra papers at the border. The government organisation has said: "If you enter the Schengen area as a tourist, you may need to provide additional documents at the border. As well as a valid return or onward ticket, when travelling to Spain you could be asked to show you have enough money for your stay; proof of accommodation for your stay, for example a hotel booking confirmation, proof of address if visiting your own property (such as second home) [or] an invitation or proof of address if staying with a third party, friends or family. A carta de invitation completed by your hosts is one of the options available."

It should be good for three months after you plan to leave the Schengen area and less than ten years old when you go in. These rules have changed since the UK left the
European Union , and it is easy to get caught out. Under the new rules, not only does your passport need to have at least three months left on it at the time you're travelling, but it should also have been issued within the last 10 years on the day you enter an EU country.
