Dear Mr Waugh,
Travelling to the EU after Brexit will be different in a number of ways as the UK leaves the European Union on 1st Janaury 2021. We know you’ll still want to enjoy amazing holidays in mainland Europe so we have created a Brexit Travel Checklist to help you to plan your next trip. Get prepared with all the information you need to know before you set sail.
• Passports
Must have at least 6 months of validity
Must be less than 10 years old
When travelling to Ireland, your passport just needs to be valid for the length of your stay
• Travel insurance
Travel insurance must cover healthcare
Your EHIC card will not be valid from 1st January 2021
Ensure that your travel insurance covers any pre-existing conditions
• Visas
You will not need a visa to visit an EU country as a tourist
You can stay in the EU for 90 days within a 180 day period
You may need a visa if you want to stay for longer, to work or study, or for business travel
• Driving
Check to see if you need an International Driving Permit for the countries you’re visiting
Permits cost £5.50 and can be bought from the Post Office, RAC, or the AA
Certain countries may also require you to have a green card which you can get from your insurance company, proof of insurance, and a GB sticker
You may need an additional green card if you want to tow a caravan or trailer
Ensure that you have organised breakdown cover
• Pets
Your pet must be microchipped
You will need to visit your vet 4 months prior to travel for a rabies vaccination
The blood sample will be sent to an EU approved laboratory
30 days after the rabies vaccination your pet will need a blood test
You can travel 3 months after you’ve received successful blood sample results and you’ll need to carry a copy of these
No more than 10 days before your departure date you will need to visit your vet for an animal health certificate
This certificate can be used for onward travel within the EU for 4 months, including re-entry into Great Britain
• Border control
You may have to show your return ticket
You might also have to show that you have enough money for your stay
Be aware that you may need to use separate lanes from EU, EEA and Swiss citizens when queuing
Until the transition period is completed on 31st December 2020, changes to the UK government guidance can still be made. This is why we strongly recommend keeping an eye on the full UK Goverment guidance, which you can find here.
There may also be changes to custom and tax rules when entering the EU, please check with the relevant government advice of the country where you will be entering the EU.
We look forward to welcoming you back on board in 2021! |
