Enjoy it while it lasts! Final summer in Mallorca without new EU travel pass

? Irish lady , German farther . What’s it to do with Gove. It’s Leo that should be arguing this harassment be investigated. The rest of the 1.5 billion third nation nationals just pay entry fee to the attraction like everything else in life.

Why don't you all write to Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Levelling Up. Remember at Brexit he promised everything would be fine, hunky dory, no problemos,things will carry on just like before. Write to him and ask him to sort out what ever problems you all seem to have with little bits of paper. I am sure he will bend over backwards to help you.

Nigel MaudeWhat is it with you guys and "boat people"? We've been over this before. ETIAS is not intended, nor is its function to address refugees and migrants arriving clandestinely. In fact, one of the benefits is that it will speed up passport control at arrival for legitimate travellers. Yes, even for Brits. Your misinformed, irrational statement is like exclaiming that a kettle would make a stupid steering wheel, rationalised by the fact that they're both round. I think it is you who's missed the point here.

Morgan WilliamsOnce again as usual you have missed the point. I feel sorry for you, but well, I feel sorry for many people. It is not the money. It is the personal information for a "hackable" database, from honest holidaying citizens from outside the Schengen area. It does nothing to secure EU borders, that is total bull, look at the illegals crossing the channel, where did they come from, not Europe. Criminal gangs are exempt as we see in France allowing the boat crossings and as Mallorca receives them from Africa and no doubt helped on their way from Spain to fill the Calais camps. It is just another socialist endeavour to control, like the USSR did, is everyone so blind, no do not answer. 😳 When Europeans restrict other Europeans, then there is something wrong, and just because they have not signed up to Schengen it is no excuse. Oh, Morgan, the visa if it is to be, will cost me NOTHING!

Stephen GrimmerThis is the first time I've ever heard anything resembling this, despite these policies being in place for years now. And it didn't involve any Brits (who believe it's all about them). Are you certain this is true? Or is this something you thought maybe might happen because of a previous MDB article?

Stephen GrimmerTerrible experience for your daughter Stephen. But many thousands of British, Irish and yanks entered through Palma airport yesterday. I really don’t get why a citizen of the ROI and European Union should get treated so badly. If this happened to a United airline passenger I would expect a serious response in the USA 🇺🇸 press. As for Brexit, Schengen or whatever. well more immigration … up. We entered Palma Early June . Along with united passengers and folk from the ROI we were welcomed warmly and efficiently. No one interrogated, just processed through the E gates for those without children. And passport stamped.

OMG!!!! You mean now I have to go on the internet and enter my passport data? And pay 6 quid? Every 3 years? How can anyone afford this, let alone be able to use a website? OMG!!!!!

I wouldn't mind, but my daughter, an Irish citizen, born in the Republic, arriving from Dublin for an indeterminate holiday at my HOME, was held for two hours at Terminal A yesterday, made to fill out a landing form, provide an address (mine, a German citizen), I had to email through an invitation, and she had to buy a return ticket online before they let her "in". She phoned me very distraught from the immigration desk as I waited in arrivals and I argued and failed to convince the immigration officer she put me on to that she was an EU citizen, and her address, job, our respective bank balances , my address, ownership, name and NIE were absolutely none of his business. Neither of us are British and never will be, but it seems to the Policia that non-Schengen arrivals=British=Brexit, so thanks for dragging third parties into your ill-advised "divorce".

That's me done with holidaying in Europe, €2.33 a year what a rip off!

Thank you MBD for the ETIAS link. However, there is no proposed application form for all the information required, also in what format this information is to be presented. Also, or at least I could not find, a declaration of who will be responsible for all the collected information, and how it complies with the EU data protection Acts. Judging from how the UK government is being frustrated over the protection of its own borders, I do wonder if the ECHR will not become involved before this is all over.
