Over the next 12 to 18 months a raft of new European border rules are set to come into effect, changing the way third-country nationals including UK passport holders travel to 30 countries.
The European Commission started working on the rules in early 2016
These include the entry-exit scheme (EES), a biometric border check, as well as the related Etias (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) – a US Esta-style visa waiver.
All these changes will impact British travellers as the UK has obviously become a third country post-Brexit – meaning the new rules will apply to all nationals, including holidaymakers. To help clients navigate through the new system, here is everything travel agents need to know about the rules.
