FFS. Red tape and extortion. As of April 2nd 2025 for all travellers.
Tit for tat, I believe we’ll have to be doing the same to get in to Europe this year.
How much are the digital permits @Vulpes (Wim)?
“Non-Europeans” so I assume EU citizens won’t need it.
That’s up until April 2nd - after that it applies to all travellers.
10 GBP, so € 11,80. Multiple entries allowed and valid for 2 years, or as long the passport is valid.
More invented jobs for civil servants. BS.
Not to get political (!), but Brexit was voted for by the general public, and a big part of that was to take back control of our borders (sic).
This is what happens, free travel around Europe, and into UK, is a thing of the past.
Border control went really well…
Jesus, get a grip. I had to pay to enter Turkey 25 yrs ago, paid to enter Australia and NZ, if you go to USA you’ll have a far worse time of it. Next time l go to Spain it looks like l will be paying out for a little virtual rubber stamp. It’s the joy of being a third party nation.
It’s brilliant isn’t it
Biggest problem is with over stayers, arrive to “study” but don’t go back. Not much point in locking the front door if they don’t find and kick out those who shouldn’t be here.
At least the UK government’s given you a proper date from when it’s required.
The EU is just saying sometime this year (very helpful! ).
