Has anyone experienced travel accessing the FCS form (passenger locator form for Spain) within the 48 hours of arrival window? I have my form partially completed and only need to enter recent data. I am well within the 48 hour window. Does Spain really mean something other than 48 hours? Any thoughts most welcome.

First, ensure you’re using the proper and official form from the Spanish Travel Health website or app rather than some bogus site. Otherwise, the only thing I can think of is it must be 48 hours from arrival time, not departure.

Thanks. I am within 48 hours of arrival and departure time. I am also using the official site. I appreciate you trying to help, but I'm at wits end.

On the website there a little robot looking thing that says , Need help? Click here. Believe it’s chat or something. Self-evident, but ensure you clicked on the “Continue Individual FCS Form.”
Strictly guessing, but if any of the original data has changed you may need to start over.

Yes, I haven’t tried yet since I don’t leave till next week. But I saw a post on TripAdvisor that mentioned difficulty if you had begun the form process more than the regulated 48 hours. So that may be your issue - I don’t have an answer but at least I don’t think it is just “you”.

OP- Maybe drop the site, and try the app? I've used it twice without a glitch.

Thank you everyone for your ideas and encouragement. Turns out the problem was some poor communication between Windows, Samsung and Apple. Be sure to use just one computer to start and complete your form. Happy travels everyone!

I leave for Lisbon Portugal a month from now and will be on the RS tour ending April 17th, then leaving for Barcelona for Spain tour. It's one thing to fill out required docs from home on my own computer, but has me a little anxious as to what & how I will facilitate what will be needed before flying into Barcelona from Porto. I am open to suggestion.
