Travelling after Brexit

Any 90 days in 180 days constraint will affect a whole lot more than long-term caravaners. Think of all those who bought 'a place in the sun' over the past twenty years or so. I think there may be more of them than us nomads. Such a restriction may make many think it's time to sell up with the consequent impact on a country's economy. Spain & Portugal, whose economies are not the most robust, would be particularly hit if this became the case.

come what MAY i am off on the 22nd Mar, I am not going to worry about what I have and have not got .
Away for 3 months so hopefully all will be sorted when i return, only ever had my documents checked at the ports so not too bothered about what happens in country. Dog was only worry, worst case for him would be quarantine, which would be aweful, but £500 at the vets has rid us of those worries.

We're chickening out of plans we had, David, though it wasn't with the caravan, it was a once in a lifetime trip involving flying, (which we usually avoid), in early April. The chance of air travel being fouled up just then means we're planning on the outer Hebrides this year, hopefully Euro travel when it's calmed down next year.

Hi Folks
Spoken to our Vet the other day about a possible no deal Brexit from the EU and its impact on travel from the UK into the EU with pets. If we leave with no deal its likely we will classified as a 3rd country. Its the bit about the animal must have an up to date Rabies vaccine and test results that is confusing me. He is of the opinion that the existing document will be sufficient to show an up to date vaccine and anti body tests. Only pets going to Europe for the first time will need to be done 4 months before travel. EU/UK pet passport will be sufficient to gain entry back into the UK.
How does he know this? He gets updates from his professional body about it.
Any one had different advice from their VET?

If your pet has been travelling, and had a pet passport since the time when a blood test was required to show that the rabies vaccine was effective (I'm not sure what year that was) AND the result of the blood test shows a sufficient level of antibodies AND the pet has had continuous rabies booster injections with no time lapses, then your pet passport will be fine. But there is a BUT: you will also require a fitness to travel certificate which has to be issued no more than ten days prior to the date of travel - and you will need a similar certificate from a European vet for the return journey.

Concur with all that ValDa has said, but beware, if your dog needs a blood test and then fails to meet the required number of antibodies, then your dog has to have a new injection, then wait 30 days to have another blood test, if this come back ok, could take 10-14 days for result to return, then you have to wait 3 months from date blood was taken for test before dog can travel, it is all to do with waiting for antibodies to grow etc. Dont want to be a prophet of doom, but my dog failed even though he was up-to-date with all his rabies vaccines, he is ok now but officially we would not be able to travel until end of April if we crash out of EU on 29th Mar, but we will leave UK 26th Mar so we can travel under old regulations.

I must confess to being puzzled by many of the comments on this subject. I travelled extensively across Europe long before the matter of possibly joining the then "Common Market" had crossed my consciousness. As I remember it, the whole process of crossing country borders and travelling across Europe was no different from the process since we have been members of the EU. Perhaps I am missing something.

Like some others before me, I've tried to have a read through (some of) that link. One thing that struck me was this: Travellers between ages 18 and 70 will be required to pay for the ETIAS travel authorisation to finalize the application process.
So what about those under 18 or over 70? Does that mean anyone under 18 and over 70 doesn't have to pay? I couldn't find anything in relation to people outside that age group. Perhaps I should concentrate more, but i must admit that it doesn't make for easy reading.

Would that be the 180 Euros you talked about in an earlier post? That is quite a lot; but if I read it correctly, it would be valid for 3 years. Or is that different again for 90+ days? I must admit that I haven't read every section on that website yet.

I've never needed this procedure for the sites I stay at.

OK then, I've never need such procedures to stay in the various countries I stay in, and some of those are/have been very long term

I came across this recent short channel 4 news video is about brits who have properties in Spain. They have only just discovered that there are many and varied implications to leaving the EU... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OhPWk-AKYo&feature=share

dont know why health care is such a big surprise, in some areas of Spain they have been refusing medical treatment to non-Spanish for some time in cases where the treatment has been deemed to be too expensive and on going. Spain may well be very grateful for the expats to keep the econmy afloat, but what happens when all these oldies become to expensive to maintain?,
