We expect all EU, EEA and Swiss citizen visitors to hold a valid passport in order to enter the UK, in the same way as we do for visitors from any other country.

An impact assessment was undertaken of this change prior to implementation. Almost a year’s notice was provided to allow people and groups to plan ahead and obtain passports where they did not already have them before they travel.
