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.
