Hi Guys n Gals,

I wonder if anyone has any idea about visas after Brexit? Would we need a visa for just the Country we visit, or would we need a visa for every Country we pass through? Do we need a personal visit to an Embassy or can we get visas online, or through the post? Any advice would be helpful to those of us who have never dealt with the subject of visas previously. Thanks and warmest regards.

Steve.

    We didn't need them before we joined the EU so I doubt we would need them after we get out.

    At the very worst, I reckon it would just be a visa waiver, like going to the USA.

    What Ian said.

    You're more likely to see a change to things like Car Insurance where you may need Green Cards again and Spanish bail bonds, but as we're at least 2 years away there's nothing to worry about.

    Who knows! Why worry?  They're now talking about a 'hard border' between Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland so people in Ireland may have even more problems.   Everything is possible, nothing is impossible.   Let's just wait and see that happens and in the meantime how does worrying about it help?

    Maybe we should just build a wall and stay behind it?

    It's all pure conjecture Steve, no-one knows the final outcome of this Brexit as talks have yet to begin. Lets just go with the flow and not worry about it.

    I don't think Saint Theresa has even started negotiating yet.

    She is probably still praying that it will all turn out OK in the end!

    Thanks to all for the replies, I suppose that as I had no knowledge about travelling prior to the EU open borders malarkey and my own experience of travel prior to 1975 (F Mov 220 and MOD form 90), I was hoping for someone who had any knowledge of the possible need of visas.

    Once again, thanks all, warmest regards

    Steve.

    Logic says that our friends in Europe will not require visas for travel, we spend millions on holidays in Europe and that will continue. Unhindered by paperwork.

    As a few have already stated.  Never needed a visa before EU, and we didn't need a 10 year passport.  We used a one year passport which was much more cheaper, probably why it was scrappedsmile

    According to The Independent the one year passport was £12 and the ten year £18, its popularity was due the ease of issue, instant and no need for countersigning by appropriate people, as passports started carrying more and more info its days were numbered and some european countries threatened to refuse entry to holders

     

    Recall on a holiday in Yugoslavia returning from a trip to Venice by coach, the border guard confiscating all the one year passports and only returned them after pleas from the tour guide
