Strict rules for British tourists going to EU to come in within weeks

Passengers will be asked a series of questions to confirm they have proof of accommodation, sufficient funds for the trip, medical insurance and a return or onward ticket

https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/ees-british-eu-travel-border-force-2025-c0jpmlb62

The UK also now has an entry visa which lasts for two years for those who are not British citizens so a similar system.

Of course, rules such as these are no different from those outside the EU - it's just that we don't expect them when holidaying in France, Spain, Germany etc.

I guess it's a Brexit benefit

Yes that's what happens when free movement comes to an end.

This might be an upside for some people.

The red tape although similar to most other countries entry reqs, will be presented in such a way that it will force some people to choose a holiday destination outside of mainland Europe. The result will be a more well travelled person, who has many more cultural experiences than they did before.

A brexit benefit I think we can all get behind.

Sounds very reasonable. The same criteria should be applied to the south coast of the uk.

I think you'll find there's only an upside. No downside, despite the reality of leaving the EU.

Yes the people who previously went to Europe will now go to Mexico and Cape Verde, stay in the hotel complex for two weeks and return home complaining that nobody spoke English.

Sounds sensible. I guess if people don’t like major inconveniences like “having a passport stamp” and “filling out a one page form” they can go somewhere else.

Though I hear the US is considering a $15,000 bond for visitors from some countries that they will only get back when they leave. Maybe it’s time the UK started doing that for all entrants from France.

Remoaners need to get out more and stop being so provincial. There’s a whole world beyond the Mediterranean.
