Seven Euros to enter the EU from May 2025

[PlacidoD]

Just spotted this:

UK citizens travelling to EU next summer will have to pay €7 visa-waiver charge

Scheme will mirror US Esta and apply to travel to Schengen area, with under-18s and over-70s exempt

My guess is that the pain will not be the seven euro’s they want, it will be the other things they want from you, it’s not going to apply to me but the rest of my family unfortunately yes …….

 

[Two on Tour]

My god everybody panic, panic, panic, well they can stuff that, we are not going across to Europe ever again.

It’s not what they want it’s what we asked for to be outside the club and be treated as a third party.

The US is 21 Dollars, 7 Euros isn't really anything to moan about...

You could take it out of your WFA. Oh, wait.....

And it lasts multiple years for both. Can't see a problem really personally.

Does the US waiver last for 3 years as well?

Coventry! Coventry! Coventry! Coventry! Coventry!

Should add if it works out like the US system it also doesn't need to be valid for your entire trip, just entry period too. ie, you could enter france at 2 years and 364 days .... and still be valid.

Coventry! Coventry! Coventry! Coventry! Coventry!

There is this new Concorde motorhome group where you can let of steam, don’t risk Coventry on this forum lol,

It isn't the 7 euros you need to worry about but the 3 hours or so added time exiting . I fail to see how it can possibly work anywhere but an airport.certainly not a JIT port like Dover.
& it doesn't even apply to my only that I will be caught up in the shambolic time taken

 

[icantremember]

Doesn't apply to septuagenarian and above so I don't give a toss .... this probably will be the same for majority of Funsters.

Coventry! Coventry! Coventry! Coventry! Coventry!

it’s hard…deep breath and slowly breath out this is me not commenting

Mrs B has an Irish passport. I don't. Can imagine we will experience problems going to the wrong queue.

No doubt things will eventually settle down.

Yes it does. Still need the visa. It's just free to over 70s.

Just heard the gaffer (Jim) is looking to see if it's possible to send you to Calais instead of Coventry so he can collect €7 every time. You've racked up €35 so far!

 

[suavecarve]

Yes it does. Still need the visa. It's just free to over 70s.

And they're moaning about a tv licence and some heating money !!!

Incoming !!!!!

Maybe it is time

 

[carolyn]

We’ve known about it for years. It’s hardly news. It’s just the date that has been uncertain. The cost isn’t onerous. We can hardly complain.

 

[Gellyneck]

Naw, I post enough mindless drivel on here without giving me other outlets!

[jerryz]

wont affect me i have an Austrian passport ,,

 

[busby]

It's free if you enter via Turkey or North Africa into Greece Italy or Spain...You don't need any documentation..

 

[DT]

Seems fair. I have my USA Esta don’t mind having one for the EU although I think 70 or over and it’s free. We should set up a similar system.

 

[jumar]

It doesn't apply to us....we are EU residents...
Will we have to pay to enter the UK...
Perhaps not....phew...will we have to queue to return to Europe...wait and see..it's going to be interesting...,,

 

[Oldrat]

If only they were so dedicated to stopping the dinghies getting over the channel.
