Hi Graham

Since leaving the EU, there’s been plenty of speculation about how travel to Europe might change for UK holidaymakers. You may have heard talk of a new “visa” or new security checks at border control.

So, what’s actually happening — and will it affect your next European getaway?

This year sees the full rollout of the EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES), bringing biometric checks at borders. Then, from late 2026, UK travellers will need to apply for a new European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) before heading to many European destinations.

But what does that really mean in practice? Will you face delays? And how could this affect your travel plans?

In our latest guide, we break down exactly what’s changing, when it’s happening, and what you need to do to stay one step ahead — allowing you to travel with confidence.

What’s more, wherever your travels take you, we’re here to help you find the best travel insurance deals. On our site, you could save 16%* when compared to other specialist providers.
