British holidaymakers are being reminded of the travel rules if you are going to France, Spain, Portugal or Turkey.
Millions of people travel with Jet2 each year and the airline provides passengers with the rules and regulations for each nation it flies to. The Jet2holidays website advises: “Before travelling to your destination, please check the latest entry requirements as they may differ depending on your: destination, nationality, and your travel document type.
“If you aren’t travelling on a full ‘British Citizen’ passport, there might be some different entry requirements. We recommend that all travellers check the latest requirements before travelling, which can be found on the FCDO website.”
Here is what Jet2 says about travel to France, Spain, Portugal and Turkey. The round-up includes details about entry requirements.
France
Those travelling to France are not subject to any additional Foreign Office guidance or requirements, reports the Liverpool Echo. The only rule UK tourists are reminded of by Jet2 is that: “Without a visa, entry is permitted for a maximum stay of 90 days in a 180-day period”.
Spain
Similarly to France, no new rules for Spain are noted by Jet2. As with the rest of the EU, UK travellers may only stay for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period.
Turkey
Jet2 says for Turkey, anyone travelling with a UK passport and without a visa can enter for a maximum stay of 90 days in a 180-day period. It adds that your passport must be valid for a minimum of 150 days from when you arrive.
Portugal
People travelling to mainland Portugal, and Madeira, are subject to the same 90 days in any 180-day period as above. Jet2 adds: “Young people under the age of 18 need a letter of authorisation with them when leaving or entering Portugal, including Madeira, without their parent or legal guardian.
“This letter must be signed by the parent or legal guardian and, in some circumstances, may need to be legally certified. You can download the form [online] and you’ll be asked to show your completed form at the airport. For more information, please visit the Portuguese government website.”
