What is Brexit?
Brexit, a blend of "Britain" and "Exit", defines the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. This significant change, culminating in a new set of rules governing how the UK and EU interact, has fundamentally altered trade, work and living conditions between them. Brexit officially took effect on the 31st of January 2020, following the 2016 referendum where 51.9% of people voted to leave the European Union.
What Does Brexit Mean for UK Citizens?
For UK citizens, Brexit has brought notable changes in travel, healthcare, pet transport, driving in Europe, mobile roaming and business travel to the EU. Passports must have at least six months' validity and be less than 10 years old for EU travel, with a visa waiver system incoming. Healthcare rights are largely preserved, but travel insurance remains essential. Pet travel is more complex, requiring health certificates and checks. Driving in the EU may need additional documentation like International Driving Permits and insurance green cards. Free mobile roaming has ended, with some operators reintroducing charges. Business travel now requires awareness of varying visa and work permit requirements in different EU states.
