UK NATIONALS TRAVELLING TO THE EU: ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!!

If there is no EU Exit deal, you will need to take new action before travelling to an EU destination.

Current status of UK nationals travelling to EU destinations
Until the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019, the UK remains a full member of the EU. As a UK national, there will be no change to your rights or status when travelling to an EU destination up until 29 March 2019.

You can:

• continue to travel freely within the EU using a UK passport
• enter another EU country without a visa

Visa and border arrangements

If the UK leaves with a deal, travel to the EU will remain the same as now until at least 31 December 2020. You will not need to apply for a visa to travel or work in the EU during this time.

If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the rules for travelling or working in Europe will change after 29 March 2019.

Travelling in an EU country after 29 March 2019: plan ahead

It is possible that the UK will leave the EU without a deal. This means your rights and status when travelling to an EU country could change.
