Immigration Controls: EU Countries

Asked by Mr Gregory CampbellDemocratic Unionist PartyHome OfficeTabled Answered 23 October 2025UIN 83250

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will hold discussions with her European counterparts on removing requirements for (a) proof of accommodation, (b) evidence of sufficient funds, (c) proof of medical insurance and (d) proof of a return ticket from the EU's Entry-Exit System for UK based travellers.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The government will continue to engage the European Commission and member states on their plans to implement the Entry/Exit System.

Questions asked to passengers as part of the new system are ultimately operational matters for the Commission and member states.
