Arriving at Tenerife Airport
As you touch down at sunny Tenerife, and disembark the plane into the warm Spanish air, follow the path to passport control. Admittedly, passport control at Tenerife Airport Arrivals can be extremely long during peak hours in high season. Some report waiting up to 2 hours to get through passport control. Therefore, it’s important you have your travel documents ready to present to border control to make your journey more efficient.
The airport does have e-gates for scanning electronic passports if you have one. If you are travelling from a country within the Schengen area, you don’t need to go through passport control.
After passport control, you can head to baggage reclaim. Check the screens to see which of the baggage conveyor belts will be delivering your luggage.
Note: Baggage reclaim and passport control desks are spread out between Level 0 and Level 1.
Now you have your belongings, follow the signs towards customs. Customs at Tenerife South Airport Arrivals is divided into two lanes: “nothing to declare” and “goods to declare”. If you have nothing to declare, walk straight through the green lane. If you have goods to declare, wait in the appropriate area to speak to a customs officer.
Once you’re through customs, you’ll reach the Tenerife Airport Arrivals Hall on Level 1. Therefore, if you went through passport control and customs on Level 0, you’ll need to take the escalators or elevators to Level 1 to exit the building.
