UK-EU travel rules
Since Brexit, UK citizens are treated as 'third-country nationals' by the EU. This means different rules apply, including the 90/180-day Schengen limit and the new EES checks. These changes reflect the UK's departure from the EU's free movement area, impacting how Britons travel to European countries.
