Two significant regulations are anticipated to be implemented in the near future, which will result in additional red tape for British visitors to Europe.

Travel has already changed since the UK decided to leave the European Union.

However, the EU has referred to these two impending modifications as "the most modern digital border management system in the world".

The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will be launched after the EU Entry/Exit System (EES).

What can you anticipate from these new regulations, and what are they?

The rules for British visitors to the Schengen area will alter due to the EES border system.

A physical passport stamp has been replaced by a new electronic system that tracks all admissions and exits into and out of European nations.

With the exception of Cyprus, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland, every EU country is a member of the EES.

All individuals who are not nationals of the EU or the Schengen region and are travelling from a third country for a brief visit are subject to the regulations.

Certain people are exempt from this new EES rule including those who have EU residency and Irish passport holders.

These rules will come into force on November 10 and once the new system is live travellers will need to provide their passports, a photo will be taken of their face and their fingerprints will be scanned.

These rules will apply to all except for children under 12 who will not need to have their fingerprints scanned or have a facial scan.

The ETIAS will affect UK nationals and is a planned electronic authorisation system which will be launched around six months after EES if all goes to plan.

To tighten frontier controls, the ETIAS will be something similar to the US ESTA scheme and is an online permit system.

Brits will need an ETIAS if they travel to any of the European countries that require ETIAS for a short stay (90 - 180 days) which will cost around £6.

The ETIAS is set to go live around May 2025 however there will be a grace period meaning it will not be mandatory for Brits to apply online for permission to enter Schengen Areas until around November 2025.

When the system does come into force, travellers must submit their personal information in Europe and passport data.

Any serious convictions in the past 20 years must also be submitted including reasons for their travel, which country they will arrive in and an address of their first night's stay.
