## Can British Citizens Travel to Europe After Brexit?
Since the UK’s departure from the European Union on January 31, 2020, there have been many questions about how this will affect travel between the UK and the EU. One of the most common questions is whether British citizens will still be able to travel to Europe after Brexit.
The answer to this question is yes, British citizens will still be able to travel to Europe after Brexit. However, there are some important changes that have been made to the rules governing travel between the UK and the EU.
### Changes to the Rules Governing Travel Between the UK and the EU
Prior to Brexit, British citizens were able to travel freely to any country in the EU without needing a visa or permit. This was because the UK was a member of the European Union, and EU citizens enjoy the right to freedom of movement within the EU.
After Brexit, the UK is no longer a member of the European Union. This means that British citizens no longer have the automatic right to travel freely to any country in the EU. However, the UK government has negotiated a deal with the EU that allows British citizens to continue to travel to the EU for short periods of time without needing a visa.
### Visa-Free Travel to the EU
Under the terms of the deal that has been negotiated between the UK government and the EU, British citizens will be able to travel to any country in the EU for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without needing a visa. This means that British citizens will be able to spend up to 3 months in the EU during any 6-month period without needing to apply for a visa.
British citizens will be able to travel to the EU for a variety of purposes, including tourism, business, and study. However, it is important to note that British citizens will not be able to work in the EU without a visa.
### Applying for a Visa to Travel to the EU
If British citizens plan to stay in the EU for longer than 90 days in any 180-day period, they will need to apply for a visa. There are a number of different types of visas available, depending on the purpose of the trip.
British citizens can apply for a visa to travel to the EU online or through their nearest British embassy or consulate. The application process can take several weeks, so it is important to apply for a visa well in advance of your trip.
### Other Important Changes to the Rules Governing Travel Between the UK and the EU
In addition to the changes to the rules governing visa-free travel to the EU, there are a number of other important changes that have been made to the rules governing travel between the UK and the EU. These changes include:
* **Changes to the rules governing the use of passports**. British citizens will need to have a valid passport to travel to the EU. The passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining beyond the date of travel.
* **Changes to the rules governing the use of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)**. The EHIC allows British citizens to access healthcare in the EU on the same terms as nationals of the country they are visiting. The EHIC is no longer valid for travel to the EU. British citizens will need to purchase travel insurance to cover healthcare costs in the EU.
* **Changes to the rules governing the use of driving licenses**. British citizens will need to have a valid driving license to drive in the EU. The driving license must be in English or accompanied by an official translation.
### Conclusion
British citizens will still be able to travel to Europe after Brexit. However, there are some important changes that have been made to the rules governing travel between the UK and the EU. British citizens should be aware of these changes before planning their trip.
