The fallout from Brexit continues. Not only are Britons heading for EU destinations soon going to have to take out the EES and ETIAS visa, at a cost of seven euros, now the Spanish and all other non-British residents from a host of countries have to take out the Electronic Travel Authorisation at a cost of ten pounds, due to rise to 16 later this year, to travel to the UK for less than six months. And the locals don’t like it.

While I can fully appreciate why Brits are widely attracted to Spain and may complain about any red tape in travelling there... ...why the Spanish would be widely attracted to Britain and complain about any red tape in travelling there ... is a bit of a mystery. Or is this like the "anti-British" sentiments widely expressed in British tabloid media, yet in practice, most Spanish couldn't care less?
I believe it’s free for those of us who are 70 or over. Works for me.
Regarding the last sentence in the article, firstly, it applies to 30 countries, not just Spain. Secondly, the cost is 7 € and it's valid for 3 years so 2,33 € per year. If someone can't afford that, what the hell are they doing taking a holiday abroad? It's less than the price of a coffee in a tourist resort!
Roy John BateWhat exactly has the new ETA got to do with bureaucrats in Brussels? It’s an entirely British decision and is being applied to everyone who doesn’t have a British or Irish passport who doesn’t need a proper visa and that’s not just Europeans. Nor will the ETIAS apply only to the British. Nothing to do with “revenge”! 🙄 And by the way Humphrey the ETA isn’t a visa, it’s a visa waiver. How many times do you need to be told?
Don´t blame British people who voted for Brexit. Blame unelected bureaucrats in Brussels seeking revenge
Continent cut off. That'll teach 'em.
