Visas: EU Countries
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the 90-day visa-waiver stay limitation for EU countries will be subject to negotiation with the EU.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds
The UK and the EU allow for visa-free short-term travel in line with their respective arrangements for third country nationals. The UK allows EU citizens short-term visa-free travel for up to six months. Meanwhile, the EU allows for travel within the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period; this is standard for third countries travelling visa-free to the EU. UK nationals planning to stay longer will need permission from the relevant Member State. This may require a visa and/or permit.The UK Government will continue to listen to and advocate for UK nationals.
