Officers may refuse entry on character grounds

Spain's entry rules name no sex offence or registry bar; refusal rests on prohibitions like expulsion bans, wanted-person alerts, or a public-order threat assessment. Criminal-record certificates apply to residence and stays over six months, not short visits.
