Key Points
- • UK passport holders can stay visa-free for 90 days in Spain, Portugal, Greece, and France.

Spain, Portugal, Greece, and France have joined forces with EasyJet to simplify entry requirements for UK passport holders, enabling them to enjoy seamless travel across these nations. This initiative allows UK tourists to stay visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day window, a significant post-Brexit development aimed at enhancing tourism in the region.
To qualify, travelers must ensure their passports were issued within the last 10 years and remain valid for at least three months after their planned departure from the Schengen area. These regulations apply not only to the participating countries but extend to other Schengen nations, including Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. EasyJet has outlined these passport validity rules for UK travelers, underscoring the critical need for proper identification during their travels.
Additionally, even with visa-free conditions, travelers should expect to present proof of onward travel, accommodation arrangements, or evidence of sufficient funds when entering these countries. This streamlining effort aims to bolster tourism and create an easier travel experience, allowing UK visitors to explore popular European destinations with confidence.
