How to get to Fuerteventura
The Canary Islands are the southernmost point of Europe. Every day frequent flights depart from them, connecting the archipelago with most of the countries of the European Union and the United Kingdom in just a few hours.
Fuerteventura specifically has an international airport 5 km away from its capital, Puerto del Rosario. In addition, there are three sea ports at strategic points around the island which facilitate connections with the rest of the archipelago in convenient ferries, and welcome cruise ships for much of the year.
If you are a citizen of one of these territories, all you need to show upon arrival at the airport is a valid passport or national identity card, with no additional checks.
If you reside in another country, you will have to go through customs control on arrival, where you may be asked, in addition to a passport and other supporting documents, for a visa, travel documents such as return tickets or tourist itinerary, accommodation reservations and proof of sufficient financial means during your stay in the form of cash, cheques, letters of payment or credit cards (minimum amount of 100 euros per person per day, with a minimum of 900 euros or equivalent in foreign currency).
