Anyone planning to travel to Spain, Spain, or other Greece this year, such as those traveling with a British passport, must follow the specific rules that came after Brexit.
Millions of Britons are expected to flock to Greece, Italy and other parts of the Schengen region for this summer holiday. However, it is essential that visitors are aware of the latest travel requirements, especially since Brexit.
Before the UK left the EU, British passport holders were able to enter Greece and other EU countries without stamps and stay indefinitely. However, current rules limit UK travelers to stays for up to 90 days within 180 days of Greece and other Schengen regions.
Additionally, UK passports must meet certain criteria, such as “issuance date” within the last 10 years and “expiration date” for at least three months to the planned departure date from the Schengen region. As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns, failure to comply with these regulations could result in long-term bans.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises travelers to such countries. “If you are also traveling to other Schengen countries, make sure you have a full visit within the 90-day visa-free limit. You will visit Schengen countries within 180 days prior to travelling to 90 days.”
“If the 90-day visa-free restrictions are exceeded, you may be banned from entering Schengen for up to three years.”
The Schengen region consists of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovania, Slovavenia, and more. Countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland.
