As things start to open up, a small reminder for British travellers / UK passport holders, going to countries in the EU:
Passport must NOT be older than 10 YEARS ( based on issue date) AND ideally have at least 6 months validity remaining upon return date from Europe. N.b. The requirement from most European countries is to have at least 3 months left on your passport on the day after you leave.
Visitors should bear in mind that stays in Europe (EU) Schengen area must not exceed an aggregate of 90 days in a 180-day period.
Health: Get the GHIC as replacement for the EHIC card when it expires.
Mobile phone: Roaming charges are being reintroduced by various operators
In latter part of 2022 a visa to travel to EU countries is slated to take effect. Known as ETIAS. Validity expected to be 3 years, at a cost of 7 Euros.
Driving own vehicle: May require Green card/ car insurance. Also, France as example has many compulsory requirements regarding breathalyser kit, warning triangles etc.
No responsibility is taken for information given here, which is subject to change and there are more to follow one suspects.....
