Starting in October 2021, Swiss and EU citizens will need a passport to enter the UK. This arises from a British government model for future processes in European border traffic, which was published this Thursday in London. Identity cards should no longer be accepted. The new regulation also applies to visitors from Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein.
Identity cards were one of the “least secure documents”, it was said to justify it. With the requirement of a passport, the security of Great Britain is reinforced. The country left the European Union at the end of January. However, there is still a transition phase until the end of December, during which practically nothing will change. At the end of the year, without an agreement on a trade pact, there is a risk of a strong economic breakdown with tariffs and other obstacles. (aeg / sda / dpa)
