2022 summer will be the last opportunity for FREE unfettered access for British passport holders because as a third country we will soon have to apply for and book in advance on the ETIAS programme something similar to the US ESTA and a charge will be made said to be in the region of £7 to £20 per person . They will be valid for up to 90 days with unlimited entry/exit during that time. however remember you can only stay for a maximum of 90 days in any one 180 day period . Forget the idea of a November to end of March vacation in Paphos !
You already need a minimum of 6 months before expiry.
Forget that overnight trip to Paris or the sudden Hen/Stag party a few days before without checking your guests ETAIS status !
As for longer haul either mean fewer more spaced out holidays , or indeed remains the focus for more wealthy travellers period stop
Its really not going to cause that much trouble. The 90 day rule has already been in place a year now. And according to most reports it will be valid for two to three years similar to a US ESTA which hasn’t dampened demand to the states.
99% of people will be able to get one in 2 mins on a website just like they can for the US.
Edit: The link posted shows it will cost €7 and be valid for three years. Hardly going to kill demand.
