Chekhov Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Does anyone know anything about this ? I had a quick Google but contradictory stuff seemed to come up. Somebody told me we'd soon be needing a Digi Visa or something to even travel to European countries, like Spain for instance. I could not believe it, but these days anything is possible I suppose. They also said that we'd have to pay for them, despite the fact they were being introduced to save the border force(s) money. If true that seems fair (not)..... We pay extra to save them money ! ? !

HeHasRisen Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) It's going to be no different to the ESTA scheme the Yanks have, and won't cost much. Settle down. https://etias.com/etias-requirements/etias-for-british-citizens Oh, and 52% of people voted for this, so we aren't allowed to moan about it. If anything it might speed border entry up.

Don't you also need something that makes your headlights shine in a different way? And a warning triangle? Disgraceful! We are British don't you know!

Imagine the apoplexy. Surely waving our shiny black passports (that are actually dark blue, and made in a EU member state) in the face of the French Police would let us off?
