The political bit first: Yes, of course, Brexit means passport checks on both sides.

But then there's the logistics: Pre-Brexit, it made sense to place the French border in the UK and vice-versa. Post-Brexit, shouldn't that be reversed? In other words, no delay getting Dover and onto your booked ferry (or Eurostar) and the check are conducted at the French end. Then it's up to them to provide commensurate infrastructure and if they don't, potential travellers can find other destinations and blame the French.

I realise that it might get interesting returning to the UK, but I suspect that will go OK because an exit Stempel is no big deal and we can fast track UK residents at Dover or Eurostar.

Sound in theory, but if the government aren’t prepared to stump up the cash for a few new booths then I doubt they’ll stump up the money required for the work required for your suggestion

Would also possibly cause a decrease in the amount of Eurostar & ferries able to run per day
