Spain Warns Transgender Travelers About US Trip
Spain recently updated its travel advisory for citizens visiting the U.S., warning that ESTA and visa applications require gender to match biological sex at birth, aligning with recent U.S. government policies. This follows similar updates from other European nations, including the U.K., Germany, and Ireland, reflecting concerns over stricter U.S. immigration and transgender rights policies. The updated advisories emphasize the importance of accurate gender declaration on application forms to avoid potential complications upon arrival. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in detention or other penalties, as noted in advisories from other countries.
