Current law states that when travelling in the EU, UK citizens need just 3 months on their passport. However, after the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, those travelling with a British passport will need at least 6 months remaining and will have to be less than 10 years old.

Travelling to the following countries will be impacted following Brexit;

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Vatican City.

    Visas

    What changes?

    There are not many changes to visas in the when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. If you are spending less than 90 days in the European Union within a 180 day period, you will not require a visa.
    You may however need a visa if travelling to certain EU countries, although the UK government has yet to confirm this.

    What to do

  • Ensure that your combined business and personal travel in the European Union does not acquaint to longer than 90 days within a 180 day period.
  • Ensure you are ready for changes in customs checks; you may need to provide proof that you have a return flight, enough money to support you during your stay and to use a separate queue than those visiting the country from another EU country.
  • If you are unsure about whether the country you are visiting requires you to have a visa after the UK leaves the EU, you can check here

    Driving

    What changes?

    You will need to take extra documents when driving in the European Union, with certain countries requiring you to have an International Driving Permit.
    If you are driving your own vehicle and not renting one from the EU, you will also need a ‘green card’


    What to do

  • Check to see whether the country you are visiting requires an IDP here
  • If you are taking your own vehicle contact your insurance company to obtain a green card, this process can take up to 1 month so ensure you complete this task as early as necessary.

    What to do
