US EditionStrict rules for British tourists going to EU to come in within weeks
UNITED KINGDOM, AUG 9 – UK travellers to the EU must provide biometric data and trip details at borders from October 12 as part of phased rollout to improve security and reduce illegal migration, EU says.
- Beginning October 12, UK travellers will face new EU border checks requiring biometric scans, proof of insurance, and a return ticket, as the system takes effect.
- The European Union postponed the measures from last November amid fears of long queues, aiming to improve border security and reduce illegal migration.
- UK travellers will answer trip questions and pass scans at dedicated biometric booths at airports, ports, and train stations to verify entry requirements.
- Travellers refusing biometric data will be denied EU entry, and the UK government warned they should expect waits during busy times.
- UK travellers must apply for Schengen authorisation, which will be rolled out over six months and fully implemented by April 2026, with a 20 euro fee.
