Britons will also need to ensure that their passports are valid for at least six months (and no more than 10 years after they have been issued) and may be forced to declare to European authorities issues such as the reason for their visit and the return ticket from the European Union.
It is very likely that the British will later have to use and pay for the ETIAS (the EU’s electronic registration system for visa-free travelers).
In addition, when passing through immigration controls, in principle they will no longer be able to use the fast queue reserved for citizens of the EU, the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and Switzerland, which could delay waiting at borders and airports.
Europeans, on the other hand, can stay in the UK for up to six months.
If you are traveling for private medical treatment the permit could be extended. The same if you are academic and meet certain requirements. In those cases, the stay can be extended up to 11 and 12 months respectively.

Further, They will no longer be able to enter the UK with their ID card from October 2021, unless they have formalized their resident status, in which case there will be no changes until 2025. Others will have to present their passport.
On the other hand, Europeans and Britons will continue to have emergency medical assistance during tourist trips in both the UK and the EU.
Currently, this medical assistance is provided by a common health card that both Europeans and British have. The UK plans to issue a new card for its citizens, but in principle it will have coverage very similar to its European counterpart.
However, the British government advises to buy travel insurance with medical coverage before going on vacation, even to the EU.
In addition to these considerations, limits will also be imposed on the items that each citizen carries with them from one place to another and European pet passports will no longer be valid in the UK.
2. Special visas to work
Europeans who want to work in the UK will have to apply online for a visa and they will be asked for a job offer, a sufficient level of English and a salary of at least 25,600 pounds a year (US $ 34,189), among other requirements that together make up a points-based system.
And British citizens who want to live and work in a country of the bloc must meet the requirements of the immigration system where they want to settle.

Also, some professions will no longer be automatically homologated as before, for example architecture, medicine or nursing.
However, athat citizens who they already lived in UK and the EU before the end of 2020 have their rights guaranteeds and they only need to formalize their status as residents.
The new regulations do not apply in the case of Ireland, which in terms of travel and migration has a series of arrangements with the United Kingdom that predate the entry of both into the European Union, the so-called Common Travel Area (or CTA).
Main consequences after Brexit, in four points
- End of freedom of movement: You can continue traveling without a visa, but only for short stays.
- Visas to work: The UK will introduce a new points-based system and the EU will apply the rules for third countries.
- Exit from the single market: There will be no additional fees between exports and imports, but customs security controls will be imposed that could delay the fluid exchange of goods.
- Exceptions: The above considerations do not apply to Northern Ireland or Europeans or British with official and regularized residence in the United Kingdom and the EU.
End of the Erasmus program
The new free trade agreement between London and Brussels did not prevent the breakdown of the Erasmus program for university students.
UK will no longer participate in this scheme in which it was made easier for European university students to study for a semester or year outside their countries of origin in another Member State.
Boris Johnson announced another alternative for British students instead, though not enough details have been revealed yet.
Students in Northern Ireland will continue in the program as part of a pact with the government of the Republic of Ireland.
3. Goods and services
In this regard, having reached an agreement saved many from a sizable price hike in many products that the UK imports from the EU and vice versa.
The fact is that both parties agreed not to impose additional fees or costs on the flow of goods, which in principle benefits both exporters and importers on both sides of the channel.
Despite the free trade agreement between London and Brussels, immigration and customs controls will be introduced that will hamper the easy flow of before. (Photo: Getty)
However, new border controls and bureaucratic procedures that did not previously exist will be necessary, which could cause delays and disruptions in supply chains.
These controls, however, will not be imposed in Northern Ireland. This is because it shares a land border with the Republic of Ireland, a member of the EU, and will effectively remain within the single European market.
On the other hand, British service providers will have to adapt to the rules of each Member State or relocate to the EU if they want to continue operating as today.
Another aspect in which it is insisted that both Europeans and British should be alert is the possible change in the rates of roaming for mobile phones.
Citizens will have to pay attention to what internet providers dictate regarding roaming. (photo: Getty)
Before, a British or European could enjoy the same rate contracted in their country of origin in any EU Member State.
The UK and the EU have said they will cooperate on “fair and transparent tariffs for the roaming international “, but nothing stops British and European travelers from being charged for using their phone in one or another territory.
Anyway, supplier companies will be in charge to maintain the same conditions or otherwise set new rates.
