Major changes are set to hit UK travellers this year and the shake up will hit the jet set in their pockets. The warning comes as reports emerge that Brits will have to pay more if travelling to one of 30 countries listed as requiring an additional document.
From the end of 2023, UK travellers looking to go to certain countries will need to get a ETIAS visa. The changes mean an extra £6.20 will be added to the cost of travel.
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will be a mandatory requirement for many travellers going to Schengen States, reported Birmingham Live. They include countries like Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Italy and more. Travellers will need to fill in an online application form via the official ETIAS website or the mobile app. It will cost 7 Euros or £6.20 to complete. Applications will take up to four days but the European Union claims it could be sorted "within minutes".
