Travelling after BREXIT

How Brexit will affect your holiday

Travelling to Europe from 1st January 2021 may well require extra preparation and to help you on your way the following information is designed to help you prepare for a smooth journey.

Passports & Visas

British citizens travelling to EU countries will need to make sure their passport is valid for at least six months from your date of travel & it must be less than 10 years old (even if it has 6 months or more left to run). There may be a rush to renew passports so it is advisable to check your validity date in plenty of time. For more information please go to the government's passport checker.

The European Commission has confirmed that British citizens won’t need to apply for a visa if you’re travelling to Europe providing you are staying less than 90 days.

Health Insurance

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) allows any EU citizen to access state medical care when they are travelling in another EU country. If you currently hold an EHIC this will still be valid until its expiry date. It is always advised that holidaymakers make sure they have appropriate travel insurance, whether they have an EHIC card or not, as there are limitations to EHIC. It is important you take out travel insurance and check that it covers your current circumstances, including any medical conditions. If you have an annual policy, make sure you check the Terms and Conditions and contact your insurance provider if you are not sure. Further advice on travel insurance can be found on ABTA's travel insurance information web page.

Driving in Europe

UK driving licence holders will not require an international driving permit to drive a hire car in Europe.

If you are driving your own car in Europe you may need a separate Green Card, and the Government website recommends contacting an insurance provider six weeks before travel to obtain this. You may also require a GB sticker.
