Brits are expected to need to pay for a visa waiver to enter 30 European countries from the end of 2023
The EU is launching the ETIAS travel authorisation for travellers from countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to enter the Schengen Zone made up of EU and EEA countries.
Since Brexit, the UK is no longer in the EU or EEA, so once ETIAS is launched, UK passport holders will need to get ETIAS travel authorisation to travel to the 30 countries visa-free. It will let Brits to keep to the same arrangements that they currently have for travel into the Schengen Zone, which allows them to enter visa-free for up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
