Travellers from the UK will soon have to pay a fee to enter popular holiday hotspots like Spain, Greece and Portugal.
For countries in the Schengen Area, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) via waiver will be needed by all British passport holders. This comes after Britain left the European Union in 2020 after an 11-month transitional period.
The EITAS check was first proposed in 2016 and confirmed in 2018. Currently Brits can visit enter Europe for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa, but this will soon change and the EITAS will act as a waiver for a visa, the similar system UK tourists need to follow if they go to the USA.
