If you are a UK citizen its just ID like a driving license but if you are outside the UK then passport is required.
I think there is a form (called a D1 or a D4) something like that for people from outside the EU / UK. The EU will be treated the same as other countries that's all.
We also need to take ID for domestic flights to Scotland etc within the UK - driving license etc
Besides, you need to understand that we aren't going to abolish tourism when we leave the EU ...
Hi
Theory and practice.
Passports are not checked for EU Citizens at UK Ports and Airports, all they need is an ID, very different to a passport.
Resources are so short that are certain times the Border Force have admitted that they just wave people through.
We do not check passports or ID in the common travel area.
You can just drive from the ROI to NI and vice versa.
You need ID to board a flight to Scotland, you do not need it to drive or travel by coach or rail.
I fished the competitions in Ireland before I became ill, no routine checks toing and froing.
As for entry checks to the UK, they are a joke.
One of the masterminds of the Paris Bombings came and went in the weeks before, never stopped, even though he was on the list.
Lucas and Bogdan come once a month, stay for 8 or 9 days, then back to Poland.
They buy airbags and sensors from scrap cars here, export them to Poland and sell them.
They have been stopped once in 4 years on the way in, and once on the way out.
The only interest shown was in how much vodka they bring in.
We are Polish, we drink a lot, waved through.
