Brexit 180 rule could see your holiday to Spain or Greece ruined
UK holidaymakers must adhere to new post-Brexit travel rules to avoid denial of boarding.
British holidaymakers planning trips to countries such as Spain and Greece need to be mindful of new travel regulations that were put in place following Brexit. Under the new rules, UK passport holders can only stay in the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period. This change has significant implications for travelers who were previously allowed to visit without any restrictions on time or passport stamping.
To help travelers comply with these new requirements, an application called Schengen Simple has been created. This tool is designed to assist holidaymakers in keeping track of their days spent in the Schengen Area, ensuring they do not exceed the limit imposed by the post-Brexit regulations. George Cremer, the founder of Schengen Simple, emphasizes the importance of planning ahead to avoid the risk of being turned away at the airport due to insufficient documentation or overstaying limits.
The introduction of these rules highlights the changes that have occurred in UK's relationship with the EU since Brexit and the impact it has on citizens' travel freedom. As holiday season approaches, awareness and proper preparation become crucial for UK travelers wanting to enjoy their vacations in popular destinations without the worry of facing travel disruptions.
