There's very little time left to make the most out of the freedom of movement, British nationals who wish to move to another EU country, or want to protect your freedom of movement, you might want to speed up preparations.

Changes to travel rules such as passport validity, border checks, insurance, driving licences and of course entry requirements will
kick in on January 1st 2021.

- British Passports

Passport rules are stricter when travelling to any EU state after January 1st.


- Length of Stay

Without the right to freedom of movement around the EU the major impact will be on how long British nationals can stay in an EU country.

There will be limits and British nationals will likely need to apply for visas if they want to stay longer.

To stay for longer, this could mean applying for a visa or work permit. You may also need to get a visa if your visit would take you over the 90 days in 180 days limit.


- Border Checks
After December 31, things might not be quite as smooth for UK nationals arriving at ports and airports around Europe.

Until December 31st, British travellers can join the EU queue when arriving at borders but from January 1st they will likely have to join different lanes.


- Health Insurance Requirements in Europe

British nationals in the EU who have used a UK-issued European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) when travelling either home or to another EU country need to take note of new rules.

All current EHIC cards become invalid on December 31st.

- Driving licences Need to Change

UK residents living around Europe are officially obliged to exchange their British driving licences for one issued in their country of residence.

However different countries have different rules and the deadline for doing this depends on which country you live in, so you should check your country of residence.


- Required Travel documents in Europe

British nationals around Europe are currently in the process of either applying for residency status or officially registering in their adopted EU countries to ensure they are covered by the Withdrawal Agreement and can make the most of the rights it protects.

In the absence of any clear rules, British nationals are being advised to be prepared to carry various proofs of residency such as bills, work contracts, insurance documents as well as an email confirmation of their application for residency.

- Bringing goods into the UK

Previously there were no limits on the value of goods you could bring in to the UK from EU nations unless you planned to sell them.

- Other things to consider when travelling next year

Pet Passport:
Starting January 1, 2021 UK nationals travelling to the EU will not be able to use the existing pet passport scheme.

If you have a pet passport issued by an EU member state, you can use it to bring your pet to Great Britain.

Phone Roaming Charges:
Anyone using a British phone number after January 1st needs to be aware of roaming charges.


Other than Duty & Excise, you can avoid all these restrictions on your free movement around the EU and the UK, by protecting your rights before the end of the transition period.
