Free Schengen visa to be unavailable for UK citizens

Beginning in 2023, citizens of the United Kingdom will be required to pay for a visa to enter the countries of the European Union (EU).

British passport holders travelling from the UK to some EU countries will have to pay for their visas through the European Travel Information and Authorisation System from next year, according to The Daily Express newspaper.

Following the UK's decision to stay in the EU, this new visa system is expected to be implemented in 2023. This means that the British will have to pay to enter the EU's 27 member states.

However, UK citizens will be able to travel to Schengen countries visa-free for 90 days.
