Holidaymakers have been warned to be on the lookout for scammers targeting those who are unsure of new post-Brexit travel rules.
British people heading to European Union countries from next year will have to apply for a European Travel Information and Authorisation System (Etias) visa four days before travel. It seems that online tricksters are already appearing to be working out how to make money out of unsuspecting travellers ahead of the new rules.
The EU has now issued guidance warning that companies may "engage in abusive practices" to target those applying for the paper work. From November 2023 tourists from 60 countries, including the UK, will have to apply for visa exemption when heading to one of the 27 member countries at least four days before departure, reported The Mirror.
