The post-Brexit travel rules for UK travellers will mean you need to apply for a travel document for some countries
UK holidaymakers travelling to Europe will need new travel permits thanks to Brexit, with the rules set to be introduced within months. The European Travel Information and Authorisation System had been due to come into force shortly after Brexit arrangements were put in place, but has been repeatedly delayed and is now expected next year.
"With a valid ETIAS travel authorisation, you can enter the territory of these European countries as often as you want for short-term stays - normally for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. However, it does not guarantee entry. When you arrive, a border guard will ask to see your passport and other documents and verify that you meet the entry conditions."
Travellers need to make sure their name, passport number and other information are correct on the ETIAS application because any mistakes will mean you are not allowed to cross the border.
