Passports:-
N.B. Since Brexit, passport requirements have changed. Please read the following carefully.
Your passport must have at least three months to run after the last day of your holiday, excluding extensions, i.e. no more than 9 years and 9 months since issue. Ensure that you apply for a new passport, if necessary, in good time.
Brexit. If you are a frequent traveller please be aware that UK citizens are now restricted to 90 days in a rolling 180 period in Schengen Zone countries. Make sure that your visit does not exceed this limit as the penalties can be severe - a fine, deportation or even a ban from entering a Schengen country again! UK passports are now being stamped on the way in and out.
Health and insurance:-
As well as an EHIC (or new GHIC) card, you must have travel insurance. It is strongly recommended that you take out insurance on booking your holiday, so that if you need to cancel, you may be able to claim the cancellation charges.
