Travel to Britain: ID cards ‘cut’ for Europeans – All changes

Changes take effect from today, Friday (1/10) at travel to Britain.

Specifically, EU citizens’ ID cards are no longer accepted when traveling to the United Kingdom. Excluded are those who have acquired the right of permanent residence or pre-settled resident and have declared it to the immigration service of the Ministry of Interior.

This is a measure provided for in the Brexit agreement and, according to Interior Minister Priti Patel, the aim is to better control the borders and prevent criminals from entering the country with forged documents.

Travel to Britain: What rules “relax”

Besides, from Monday, October 4 entry to England is simplified for those traveling from abroad. First of all, the three-zone system of red-orange, green, which has been imposed due to the pandemic, is abolished and it ranks each country according to its epidemiological picture. There will only be “red” countries, which will be subject to very strict criteria and a high-cost process for one of them to travel to England, even if he is a British citizen. The list currently includes 54 countries, most far from Europe except Montenegro and Tunisia.

For all other states, fully vaccinated travelers they will no longer need to take the test before leaving. It is still necessary to complete the PLF (Passenger Locator Form) document, the vaccination certificate as well as another test that will be done on the second day of their arrival. But the test from mid-October is expected to become much cheaper and to be bought even from supermarkets, according to government sources. It is characteristic that its cost can fall even to 5 pounds, as reported by APE-MPE.

It is worth noting that the new conditions for taxissame to England apply only to fully vaccinated. The rest will still have to do two expensive coronavirus tests.
