ETIAS FOR BRITISH: EU ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR UK CITIZENS

Hi, i’s Deborah and Euzi Later this year, Brits will need to have a 'visa-waiver' to go on holiday to countries in Europe called the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). This is similar to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) required to visit the US. Anyone between the ages of 18 and 70 will need an ETIAS from November 2023. All arrivals will need one, whether arriving by plane, boat or car, and is even needed if just transiting through Europe. This visa only applies if visiting for less than 90 days - longer than this will require different visas. So HOW will you get a visa for Europe? A new website for the ETIAS applications will be launched in November 2023. Until then… we’ll keep you posted with the latest developments! https://www.etias.info/visa-requirements/uk-citizens/#:~:text=Although%20there%20are%20no%20visa,security%20across%20the%20Schengen%20Area. #legaladvicefordivorcematters #legaladviceforlandlordandtenantmatters #legaladviceforemploymentmatters #mackenziefriend #helpingyoutopreparetoattendatcourt #affordablelawforyou #bespokelegaladvice
