Typical of the Spanish bureaucracy to not maker things clear.

The news today on TV is saying clearly all restrictions have gone for non Europeans.

The https://www.spth.gob.es/ website shows

As of Tuesday, 20 September 2022, the Spain Travel Health (SpTH) portal, both the website and the mobile applications (APPs), will no longer be operational. It will no longer be necessary to complete the health control form to travel to Spain nor to show the SpTH QR code at the airport of arrival.



Third-country nationals must meet the criteria established by the Ministry of the Interior in Order INT/657/2020, of 17 July, amending the criteria for the application of a temporary restriction of non-essential travel from third countries to the European Union and Schengen associated countries for reasons of public order and public health due to the health crisis caused by COVID-19.


Leaving the second part on is causing lots of confusion, if you follow ministry of interior link, the webpage on the requirements has already been removed.

Starting this Tuesday, September 20, Spain will eliminate health controls against Covid at airports and seaports. From now on, passengers arriving in Spain by plane or ship will no longer have to present a Covid vaccination certificate or fill out the Spanish Travel Health health control form.

The Official State Gazette (BOE) publishes this Monday a resolution of the General Directorate of Health of the Ministry of Health that will nullify one of the already few anti-Covid measures that were still in place. However, the obligation to use the mask on public transport is maintained, including planes departing from or arriving in Spain
