New scheme where Brits have to pay to enter EU countries pushed back until late 2023

Scots will likely not have to apply for the new EU visa waiver next summer as the scheme has been pushed back.

The system, called ETIAS, is now scheduled to open from November 2023 and will allow Brits to freely travel through 30 European countries for up to 90 days for tourism, transit or business. Countries like Spain, France, Italy, and Germany are all part of the scheme.

Once obtained, travellers will have to renew the new visa waiver every three years which will allow unlimited entries into countries within the Schengen zone, reports the Mirror. This Schengen zone is made up of 26 European countries and four non-EU member countries that have removed border controls between them.
