British holidaymakers travelling to Portugal have been issued an important warning over their boarding passes and passport.
Earlier this month, the Foreign Office said people from the UK arriving in Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Funchal could use fast-track lanes at passport control despite Britain leaving the European Union. This meant Brits could use eGates to avoid passport control queues while visitors from many other non-EU countries would have to wait in line to have their passports manually checked and stamped.
But a travel update on the UK Government website makes clear that the eGates for UK passport holders are "separate to the e-gates for EU/EEA/Swiss citizens".
