The United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020, and British citizens consequently lost their freedom of movement to EU countries; however, under theCommon Travel Area, British citizens continue to have freedom of movement to Ireland.
Visa requirements for British citizens were lifted by many European nations in the few years after World War II. The first changes occurred in 1947. These were removed by France on 1 January 1947.[2]
This was then quickly followed by Belgium on 15 February 1947,[3] Luxembourg 15 February 1947,[4] Norway on 1 March 1947,[5] Denmark on 22 March 1947,[6] Sweden on 1 April 1947,[7] Netherlands on 15 April 1947,[8] Switzerland on 24 June 1947[9] Liechtenstein on 24 June 1947[9] and Iceland on 1 July 1947.[10]
Electronic visas for British citizens were introduced:India (15 August 2015),[30]Djibouti (18 February 2018),[31]Malawi (October 2019) andMongolia (November 2021). In April 2021,India announced that it would stop issuing electronic visas for British citizens from August 2021, however this was reinstated in December 2022.[32]
Honduras cancelled a visa-free regime for British citizens as a reciprocal measure in August 2024.[33] Similarly,Namibia will introduce visas for British citizens for reciprocity reasons, starting April 2025.[34]

WhilePort Sudan Airport is the only civilian airport operating international flights, it is subject to drone attacks and at high risk of intermittent closure. The British Embassy in Khartoum is closed, and consular support in Sudan is severely limited, with no in-person assistance available. The UK government is no longer evacuating people from Sudan, and any attempts to leave the country are at the individual's own risk.[343]

The United Kingdom, together with itsCrown Dependencies of Guernsey, Jersey and theIsle of Man and the Republic of Ireland make up a Common Travel Area where:
No ID is required for travel by land for British or Irish citizens
Only photographic ID is required for travel by air or sea for British or Irish citizens (but some airlines - such asRyanair - may mandate passports for all)
However, there are occasionally checks on coaches and trains moving betweenNorthern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. British citizens living in Ireland have many of the same rights and entitlements as an Irish citizen.[399] Citizens of third countries must have passports and, if required, visas to travel between the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
British visas don't enable travel to Ireland for people without agreement with Ireland, and vice versa. Passengers travelling between the Common Travel Area and the Schengen Area are subject to systematic passport/identity checks.
British Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories
British nationals (including BOTC-Gibraltar) do not have the automatic right to reside in Gibraltar unless they also have Gibraltarian status under the Gibraltarian Status Act. British nationals, similar to EEA nationals, can live, work or study in Gibraltar without a visa, but they must register for a residence permit under Immigration, Asylum and Refugee Act. They become eligible for permanent residence after 5 years of continuous residence in Gibraltar. Only British nationals (including BOTC-Gibraltar) are eligible for Gibraltarian status after 10 years of continuous residence in Gibraltar.
Gibraltarian status confers the right to reside in Gibraltar. Losing British nationality will cause one to lose Gibraltarian status.[420]
The Gibratarian government halted the residence permit applications from EEA and non-Gibraltarian British nationals, under Immigration (EU Exit) Regulations 2025, effective 6 October 2025 until further notice.
Permission to land required: £15 for ship and £30 for yacht passengers for Tristan da Cunha Island; £20 forGough Island,Inaccessible Island orNightingale Islands unless there is a connection with Tristan da Cunha, in which case right of abode.[429]
Special permit required (4 days:EUR 25 forOrthodox visitors, EUR 35 for non-Orthodox visitors, EUR 18 for students). There is a visitors' quota: maximum 100Orthodox and 10 non-Orthodox per day and women are not allowed.[442][443]

With the exception of the capitalMalé, tourists are generally prohibited from visiting non-resort islands without the express permission of the Government of Maldives.[472]
Holders of exclusive categories of British passports have this visa-free access, to:China(diplomatic passports),[524]Kuwait(diplomatic or official passports),[525]Mongolia(diplomatic passports),[526]Qatar(diplomatic or official passports and British Diplomatic Messenger or Queen's Messenger Passports)[527] and theUnited Arab Emirates(diplomatic or official passports).[528] Holders of diplomatic or service passports of any country have visa-free access toEthiopia,[529] andZimbabwe.[530] Holders of British official and diplomatic passports require a visa forSouth Africa.[531]
Many countries have entry restrictions on foreigners that go beyond the common requirement of having either a validvisa or a visa exemption. Such restrictions may be health related or impose additional documentation requirements on certain classes of people for diplomatic or political purposes.
Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages to be available in the passport being presented, typically one or two pages.[532] Endorsement pages, which often appear after the visa pages, are not counted as being valid or available.
Some other countries require vaccination only if the passenger is coming from an infected area or has visited one recently or has transited for 12 hours in those countries: Algeria, Botswana, Cabo Verde, Chad, Djibouti, Egypt, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Lesotho, Libya, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea,Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Seychelles, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Tunisia, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.[535][536]
Very few countries, such as Paraguay, just require a valid passport on arrival.
However many countries and groupings now require only an identity card – especially from their neighbours. Other countries may have special bilateral arrangements that depart from the generality of their passport validity length policies to shorten the period of passport validity required for each other's citizens[537][538] or even accept passports that have already expired (butnot been cancelled).[539]
Some countries, such as Japan,[540] Ireland and the United Kingdom,[541] require a passport valid throughout the period of the intended stay.
In the absence of specific bilateral agreements, countries requiring passports to be valid for at least 6 more months on arrival include Afghanistan, Algeria, Anguilla, Bahrain,[542] Bhutan, Botswana,British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Curaçao, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Fiji, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel,[543] Jordan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Laos, Madagascar, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Peru,[544] Philippines,[545] Qatar, Rwanda, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tokelau, Tonga, Turkey, Tuvalu, Uganda, United Arab Emirates, Vanuatu, Venezuela, and Vietnam.[546]
Countries requiring passports valid for at least 4 months on arrival include Micronesia and Zambia.
Countries requiring passports with a validity of at least 3 months beyond the date of intended departure include Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Honduras, Montenegro, Nauru, Moldova and New Zealand.Similarly, theEEA countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, allEuropean Union countries (except Ireland) together with Switzerland also require 3 months validity beyond the date of the bearer's intended departure unless the bearer is an EEA or Swiss national.
Countries requiring passports valid for at least 3 months on arrival include Albania, North Macedonia, Panama, and Senegal.
Bermuda requires passports to be valid for at least 45 days upon entry.
Countries that require a passport validity of at least one month beyond the date of intended departure include Eritrea, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Macau, the Maldives[547] and South Africa.
Countries of theSchengen area require non-EU passports to be less than 10 years old upon entry.[548] A number of holders of British passports, which until September 2018 could be issued with a validity period of up to 10 years and nine months if the previous passport was not expired, were unable to travel to the EU subsequent toBrexit due to this restriction.[549]
Some countries, including Australia, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand and the United States,[550] routinely deny entry to non-citizens who have acriminal record, while others impose restrictionsdepending on the type of conviction and the length of the sentence.
The government of a country can declare a diplomatpersona non grata, banning them from entering the country or expelling them if they have already entered. In non-diplomatic use, the authorities of a country may also declare a foreignerpersona non grata permanently or temporarily, usually because of unlawful activity.[551]
Kuwait,[552] Lebanon,[553] Libya,[554] and Yemen[555] do not allow entry to people withpassport stamps from Israel or whose passports have either a used or an unused Israeli visa, or where there is evidence of previous travel to Israel such as entry or exit stamps from neighbouring border posts in transit countries such as Jordan and Egypt.
To circumvent thisArab League boycott of Israel, the Israeli immigration services have now mostly ceased to stamp foreign nationals' passports on either entry to or exit from Israel (unless the entry is for some work-related purposes). Since 15 January 2013, Israel no longer stamps foreign passports atBen Gurion Airport. Passports are still (as of 22 June 2017[update]) stamped atErez when passing into and out ofGaza.[citation needed]
Iran refuses admission to holders of passports containing an Israeli visa or stamp that is less than 12 months old.
Several countries mandate that all travellers, or all foreign travellers, befingerprinted on arrival and will refuse admission to or even arrest travellers who refuse to comply. In some countries, such as the United States, this may apply even to transit passengers who merely wish to change planes rather than golandside.[556]
Fingerprinting countries/regions include Afghanistan,[557][558] Argentina,[559] Brunei, Cambodia,[560] China,[561] Ethiopia,[562] Ghana, Guinea,[563] India, Japan,[564][565] Kenya (both fingerprints and a photo are taken),[566] Malaysia upon entry and departure,[567] Mongolia, Saudi Arabia,[568] Singapore, South Korea,[569] Taiwan, Thailand,[570] Uganda,[571] the United Arab Emirates and the United States.
Many countries also require a photo be taken of people entering the country. The United States, which does not fully implementexit control formalities at its land frontiers (although long mandated by its own legislation),[572][573][574] intends to implementfacial recognition for passengers departing from international airports to identify people who overstay their visa.[575]
Together with fingerprint and face recognition,iris scanning is one of three biometric identification technologies internationally standardised since 2006 by theInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for use ine-passports[576] and the United Arab Emirates conducts iris scanning on visitors who need to apply for a visa.[577][578]
On 23 June 2016, a majority of the British electorate who voted, did so to leave the European Union in anationwide referendum.[579]
In March 2017, the UK sent notification of their intention to leave the EU to the European Council through Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. British citizens ceased to be EU citizens upon the UK's departure from the EU thus forfeiting the rights of citizens.[580][581][582]
From 1 January 2021, when EU law ceased to apply to the United Kingdom, British citizens are afforded visa-free visits to theSchengen Area, for 90 days in any 180-day period.[54][55][56] British citizens also enjoy visa-free entry to Bulgaria[583] and Romania.[305]
From sometime in 2026, most visa-exempt travellers seeking entry to the EU and EEA must apply and pay for travel authorisation throughETIAS.[584][585] This was confirmed on 12 September 2018 and has no exception, yet agreed, for British citizens.[586] This does not affect British-Irish travel which is governed by laws that pre-date the European Community.[587]
When in a non-EU country where there is no British embassy, British citizens no longer have the right to consular protection from the embassy of any other EU country present in that country.[588]
When in a country where there is no British embassy, British citizens may get help from the embassy of any othercommonwealth country present in that country. There are also informal arrangements with some other countries, including New Zealand and Australia, to help British nationals in some countries.[589]

Retrieved25 April 2019.While a requirement for a biometric entry-exit system has been in law for over a decade, it is not yet a reality. Many reasons for the long gestating development have been documented in BPC's 2014 report Entry-Exit System: Progress, Challenges, and Outlook, including the technological, operational, and cost challenges of creating exit systems and infrastructure where none exist today. However, many critics, especially in Congress, simply accused the Department of Homeland security of dragging its feet... the major operational, logistical, and technical challenge in implementing exit capability at our ports has been the land borders. Unlike airports and seaports, the land border environment is not physically controlled, there is no means to get advance information on who is arriving, and the sheer volume of travel—both vehicular and pedestrian—creates challenges in any system to not further exacerbate delays. While biometric exit for land vehicular traffic is still in the "what if" stage, CBP is moving ahead and piloting systems and technology to use with the large population of pedestrian crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
