AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoETIAS Fees & Timing: UK travellers heading to 30 European countries face a new entry authorisation, with the ETIAS charge set at €20 (under-18s and over-70s exempt). It’s expected to launch in the final quarter of 2026, with a grace period pushing compulsory use into 2027. EES Border Delays: The EU’s Entry/Exit System is fully live across Schengen, collecting fingerprints and facial biometrics—so an airline boss is urging holidaymakers to arrive up to three hours early for the trip home, with queues already causing missed flights. Spain Entry Paperwork: For Spain trips, border officials may ask for proof of onward travel, travel insurance, sufficient funds, and accommodation details—plus a passport issued within the last 10 years. UK Import Rules: DEFRA warns travellers not to bring meat or dairy from the EU into Great Britain; undeclared items can be seized and penalties can reach £5,000. Dual Pricing at Attractions: Some major sights are charging higher admission to non-EEA visitors, including examples in Paris. North Macedonia Gets a Boost: North Macedonia is seeing more tourists and new UK direct flights to Skopje and Ohrid, making it a quieter alternative for Greece fans.
