The word “ Hopefully “ was used in a glass half full sort of way

The 90/180 rule won't be a problem for anglers. Easy for an international driving permit, 5 quid at the post office. I can see them maybe having a similar set up at airports as they do with Switzerland. You'll notice at passport control it says EU and Swiss passports and then all others. Bit if luck it will be EU, Swiss and UK in future.

Your current EHIC card is valid until the expiry date on it . After that they are talking about a similar arrangement , the main difference being that it won’t cover pre existing conditions .
The 90 day limit isn’t really a problem for 90 % of people who go to France etc.
Yes , we will have to que in a different line for passports etc but that’s not a major ..
I expect an International driving licence and vehicle green card will be the only real difference most people will notice .
I fish in France a fair bit ( just back a few days ago ) and I really don’t think the situation is going to be a major ... I’ll let you know though as I’m hopefully heading back over on the 6th 😄

Hi,
Can not imagine travelling in Europe getting easier. the big change that I see is that you will be only allowed to spend 90 days in Europe in a rolling 12 months after that you will need to apply for a Visa.
No more European Health Insurance card. probably means more expensive holiday insurance.
Back to the old additional driving "licence". that we once got from the post office.
If we fly we will probably have to stand in the other queue.
Wonder if the EU brings back the landing cards ?
Don't think we need to worry about any of this for many months. I am 65 plus & diabetic when I look online I see that there are 9.9M to 12.3M ahead of me in the vaccination queue. If all goes well I get my jab late March 2021.


Cheers

Now we have a free trade deal with the EU it's going to be a lot easier travelling to France.

It's just Covid that is the issue now....

Increase in paperwork , increase in waiting times , increase in speeding fines 😁 , but not enough to stop people travelling to the theatre of dreams for a week a year .

There may be need for covid negative checks , but this covid has a long way to run , and shows in complete contrast to France we are a very over populated rock in the north sea .

I will be living in France after Christmas, so shouldn’t be an issue for me. I would love to take up all your dates but I couldn’t afford it.

I doubt you need to worry as I don’t think anyone will be going at this rate

Well if I can't take bait to France next year I won't be fishing there again. The lakes I fish don't sell bait or tackle and I would not be even sure we will be allowed to take particles either?

France is the world's most visited country by tourists. Spain is actually number one for British tourists.

I am sure that you are right Ash, however until the Brexit shambles finally sorted out nothing can be known regarding future travel restrictions. I feel that without doubt there will be a bit more paperwork needed and restrictions on what 'food stuff' can be taken across the border but at the moment It is the Covid issues that are foremost in formulating travel rules. It is a case of 'watch this space' and hope that common sense prevails.
