Post by Kwacky »

Time to get ready for a post Brexit life.

The government have started to set out the changes and what we need to do if we're travelling to Europe.

https://www.gov.uk/visit-europe-1-january-2021" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Extras include:
  • A green card for your insurance
    International driving licence
    GB Sticker

    Pets need to register at least 4 months before

    No fast queuing at passport control
    Proof of onward or return journey
    Proof of enough funds for your stay

    No more mobile telephone free roaming
    Travel Insurance (your EHIC card is no longer valid)
On the plus side you can now buy duty free fags.

Its all utter bullshit. We have allowed a very small number of right wing MPs to dictate to the whole Country.

You watch those same **** piss off and live abroad in the coming years.

The pets stuff is a real faff. The many hundreds of pounds i have spent on the current two pet passports will become wasted.

The new rules (if nothing new is agreed in the transition period) means new rabies injections and then a blood test after 3 months or so. I travel with my dogs and this will mean a load more money and i cant just travel, which i can at the moment. Another Brexit benefit FFS.

Not illegal but no longer meeting the criteria for travel overseas.

Depends if the Gendarmes catch you ..... ;)

Dont worry - i have to apply for a new driving license (and pay for it) at the end of the year. Another Brexit benefit.

Well done leavers - the panacea of Great Britain is coming true! (not).
