  1. Notwithstanding the above and due to the exceptional circumstances currently faced, the Spanish authorities have introduced interim measures to allow EU nationals to travel in and out of Spain as long as they can prove residency in Spain, on production of a utility bill or other document that shows that the person crossing the border resides in Spain. It is to be noted that the process is an interim measure and individuals are strongly advised to regulate their residency in Spain as soon as possible.
