British travellers will have to pay a fee to enter Europe next summer as post-Brexit rules come into force. From next year UK holidaymakers will need to obtain a European Travel Information and Authorisation System visa waiver to visit popular holiday destinations, including Spain, France and Greece.
Brits will need to complete an application form and pay a seven euro application fee, which is around £6. Although the EU has not confirmed an exact date for when the ETIAS comes into force, guidance says that it will be ‘operational in 2024’. Once obtained the ETIAS travel authorisation is valid for three years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Travellers will be able to leave and return as many times as they wish, as long as the overall limit of the authorised stay is respected.According to EU guidance most applications will be processed within minutes, taking 96 hours at most.
To apply for the ETIAS you’ll need to provide information about yourself, including personal details, travel document information and any details of a past criminal convictions. You’ll also need to state the first country you intend to stay in, however once you’ve received the ETIAS you’ll be able to visit any of the 30 countries that it covers.An exact state when the ETIAS scheme comes into force is still to be announced and the application cannot be submitted yet.
