How ETIAS visa waiver for British tourists visiting the EU Schengen countries will work

British tourists will have to pay to holiday in the EU under a plan to bring in a visa waiver scheme.

The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is being introduced for tourists who come from countries that are not in the EU or Schengen area but don't need to apply for visas to enter. That, due to Brexit, now includes the UK.

The European Union confirms UK passport holders who do not have residency in the EU or also hold an EU passport will need to apply for the ETIAS waiver to travel to the Schengen zone, which includes much of mainland Europe and countries popular with holidaymakers like Spain, France, Italy, Portugal and Greece.
