A new rule has come into force that anybody who is planning on travelling to Europe this year must be aware of. Since the UK left the EU in 2020, everybody who owns a British passport must now follow specific requirements for any trips to European countries.
The little-known rule applies to travel from the UK to almost all EU countries except Ireland, as well as Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City.
Everyone who holds a red passport must now follow the Schengen area requirements for trips to the EU - but countless holidays have so far been ruined last minute as many people aren't aware of the rules.
