Everything you need to know about the new £6 EU visa scheme
What’s the first thing you do after returning from a summer holiday? Start planning another one, of course.
But heading to Europe next year will be a little different for Brits, thanks to a new visa scheme called ETIAS.
As it stands, visitors from the UK can visit the EU’s Schengen area (a borderless collective of 29 countries) for up to 90 days, every 180 days, without a visa.
The new scheme means anyone travelling to popular tourist hotspots including Portugal, Spain and Greece, will need to apply — and pay a €7 (around £6) visa waiver charge.
