Written Question
Visas: EU Countries
Tuesday 12th March 2019

Asked by: Lord Bruce of Bennachie (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government what visa or equivalent charges they expect UK residents to pay to secure access to EU Member States after Brexit.

Answered by Lord Callanan - Shadow Minister (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The European Union has proposed to grant UK nationals visa-free travel to the EU for short stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. The UK has also said that we do not intend to require visas for EU citizens travelling to the UK for short stays.

The arrangements for longer stays will depend on the approach taken by individual Member States.

The FCO’s Travel Advice pages provide the most up to date information on entry requirements for travellers for each Member State.
