Spain's and France's websites are current and accurate in this respect, according to their embassies. Neither their websites nor Timatic have been updated for quite some time.
Agreed that agents will go by Timatic rather than a country's website. What's unclear is whether they will go by Timatic or AA's more conservative six month policy.
