Post Brexit travel within Europe
Post Brext, on the BBC news page, something about needing a visa & to pay for it to visit the EU countries?
I understand details need to be worked out & finalized.
For British citizens, that will travel to the Republic of Ireland for long stays beyond 3 or 6 months, even living there, will there be visa conditions & requirements the same as it would for those going to mainland EU?

Re: Post Brexit travel within Europe
We are not really 'post Brexit', rather 'post referendum'.
Nothing has been decided/announced - no one knows what the situation will be when we do leave the EU.

It has to be negotiated.

Re: Post Brexit travel within Europe
And now that we have EU passports but after we're not in the EU anymore, that passport will kind of be invalid?
And rather than having to replace millions that would otherwise be valid for up to ten more years, supplementing them with a Euro-Visa might be a sensible compromise?
Brexit is quite different to Brentry () in this respect for that reason? Just a guess.

I don't see that the EU will accept you using our passports for long. I think that UK citizens will just have to pay for new passports. Your vote your cost.

And sorry, but they're not 'your' passports. The ID page clearly identifies the holder as a British citizen, and at the time they were issued the UK was a member of the EU.

Storm in a tea cup. The most likely scenario is that UK citizens' passports will progressively be replaced with new covers as they expire.

Re: Post Brexit travel within Europe
Just to clarify, since there seems to be some confusion on this issue:
The EU is currently considering a visa system to cover the whole of the Schengen area. If implemented, non-EU visitors will need to apply for a visa online, 72 hours before travelling. The proposed cost is around £10.
This is not a retaliation by the EU against Brexit. It will apply to other non-EU countries, and is part of the EU's counter-terrorism strategy. But, obviously, post Brexit, it will also apply to UK citizens. It will add around £40 to the cost of a family holiday.

It certainly isn't retaliation as the EU have been considering that for the Schengen zone since 2011! The UK has never been one of the EU countries that is part of the Schengen zone anyway and the UK would have had to bring in their own checks for non-visa nationals.
Although since that EU idea in 2011, Merkel invited everyone to the Schengen zone and there have been terrorists attacks in Schengen countries, so it might now be a case of the EU shutting the door after the horse has bolted: and there doesn't seem to be many 'open borders of Schengen' countries now since this 'migrant crisis' anyway.
A lot of countries have brought in these criminal and terrorist checks for non visa nationals and I don't see anything wrong with them.
If this will mean that the UK will now be able to check the criminal history of EEA citizens and their non-EU family members and refuse them entry to the UK, something no EEA country is allowed to do under EU law, is that such a bad thing?
It's crazy that an EEA country can deport people when they come out of jail, then that person could just come back into the country under EU law, as a non-EEA family member of an EEA citizen. Or that a convicted murderer or sex offender in their own EEA country, is allowed to go and live in another EEA country under EU laws. If they are stopped from being in the UK under these proposed Schengen charges, then it is worth £10 each imo.

Re: Post Brexit travel within Europe
Since the vast majority of terrorist attacks are committed by nationals of the country where they are committed, I can't see the relevance of visa checks at all.

Re: Post Brexit travel within Europe
I think this is exactly what pro-Brexit voters wanted. Strict controls over who's entering the UK from the EU. And if that means the same for them in visiting the continent, so be it.
Sad state of affairs in my opinion.

Re: Post Brexit travel within Europe
An option that could be considered is an EU Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), where visa-exempt travellers would register relevant information regarding their intended journey. The automatic processing of this information could help border guards in their assessment of third-country visitors arriving for a short stay. Countries such as the USA, Canada and Australia have already put similar systems into place, including for EU citizens.
