Spain, France, Portugal, Greece to charge UK tourists to visit as new launch date set

Brits planning holidays to hotspots such as Greece, Croatia, Italy, Spain, France and Portugal will soon need to pay a new charge simply to enter the countries.

That's because the EU is introducing a new visa-waiver form for non-EU countries, meaning visitors will need to pay an extra €7 (£5.92) for a visa-waiver form ahead of entry to member countries.

The European travel information and authorisation system ( ETIAS ) will apply to non-EU citizens from around 60 countries that have visa-free travel within the EU, including the UK.
