Logistics: Visas
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions he has had with the European Commission on securing exemptions from the Schengen 90/180-day rule for UK (a) road haulage and (b) touring logistics professionals.
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. UK nationals can travel visa-free 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. The Government will continue to listen to concerns raised by sectors affected by these rules and will advocate for UK nationals abroad.
