• Upcoming EU Travel Rule Changes (Effective 10th November 2024):
  If you're a UK traveller planning to visit the EU or Schengen Area, there are some important new rules you need to know:

  • ETIAS Authorisation: UK citizens will soon need to apply for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) before travelling. Though it's not a visa, it’s mandatory for entry and valid for three years.
  • Biometric Data Requirement: Travellers will need to provide fingerprints and a photo at EU border kiosks for enhanced security.
  • Passport Validity: Ensure your passport is less than 10 years old and valid for at least three months beyond your departure date from the Schengen Area, or you may be denied entry.
