LONDON — The British government confirmed plans to charge EU citizens and other foreign nationals to visit, as part of a wider reform aimed at making the border more secure.
Quote:
The ETA is expected to come into force by 2025, but according to Salma Shah, a former special adviser to Sajid Javid when he was home secretary, “we are probably going to see a lot more ... changes before we see a real settled immigration pattern and practicalities around how we deliver the immigration system.”

Re: Britain outside the EU

That link I posted says thay it's from the of 2022??

Apparently, the charge isn't for a visa, (so I'm assuming that we must have agreed a reciprocal agreement with them), but is a charge for a scheme that entitles us to not to have to pay for a visa!?

The UK confirmed it was going to charge EU citizens back in May - https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-c...itizens-visit/ with confirmation here - https://www.etauk.uk/

I have to say, €7 is a bargain compared to an ESTA for the US at $14. Mine always seems to run out just before I need to travel...

I'm afraid he's right, Seph. You can't leave the golf club but still expect to play on its greens at no cost.

Yes, same as the US and Canada have for us today.

Leaving the EU and leaving a golf club have no parallels.
For example, you can leave a golf club without negotiating a withdrawal agreement; you can leave a golf club without setting up an NI Protocol.

Are you that delusional ???
Don't be ridiculous. You suggested that my attitude meant that I wouldn't be buying anything from the US. Whereas I was making the point that EU would try and hurt us at every opportunity.

If the majority of the British population follow the behaviour of your local
Waitrose then the only thing hurting will be EU due to a lack of tourists.

It’s what £8 ? Talk about making a mountain of a molehill

Now you're being silly. The cost of the EU visa (if it goes ahead) never figured in my assessment. I merely emphasised that if the EU can hurt the UK, it will with a smirk.

How exactly is it hurting the U.K. ?

I'll bring you back to what I said in response to RC's post reporting that the EU were going to slap a visa fee on UK citizens:

Quote:
As I've regularly said, the EC hates the UK for leaving their poxy "union". They'll say that all third-countries will be equally treated, but the EC will be laughing up their sleeves.

Try Global Entry $100 USD every five years…. I put it on my card pick up points etc as I do with flights and accommodation and then expense it back

You're making things up. I simply said that they'd be laughing up their sleeves (at the inconvenience to which the UK would be put).

You have no evidence to support that, but you so desperately want it to be true.
