We also have to have pet passports,
Need to check our passports are in date.
Oh and travel insurance...... does anyone travel without insurance these days?
Make sure our car insurance is valid.
Can only go on holiday for 90 days now!!
Its going to be tough...
Latest uttering - make London the most beneficial place to register new companies in. Services done and dusted. As usual an answer for everything that crops up.
What's to stop other countries doing the same? Probably the usual idea that lower tax collects more.

Care to work this out then?
"If you have a burgundy passport with “European Union” on the cover, it will continue to be valid as a UK travel document. But it loses all its EU powers. From the start of 2021, European rules on passport validity become much tougher – and there are several different interpretations of the rules.
The basic requirement from the European perspective is simple: “You will need a passport valid for at least three months after the date you intend to leave the EU country you are visiting, which was issued within the previous 10 years.”
The second condition is attached because the UK has traditionally given renewals up to nine months’ extra validity in addition to the normal 10 years. A passport issued on 30 December 2010 could show an expiry date of 30 September 2021, for example. While that was fine when the UK was part of the European Union, British travellers must now meet the strict rules on passport validity for visitors from “third countries”.
In particular, passports issued by non-member countries are regarded as expired once they have been valid for 10 years.
So a passport issued on 30 December 2010 with an expiry date of 30 September 2021 is regarded by the EU as expiring on 30 December 2020. Therefore if the holder attempted to board a plane to the European Union on New Year’s Day 2021, it would be considered to have expired, even though the passport has almost nine months to run.
Until September 2018, the UK government appeared unaware of the problem. Once the issue was identified, the practice of giving up to nine months’ grace ended abruptly. But tens of millions of passports valid for longer than 10 years are in circulation.
Confusingly the UK government has not one but two different interpretations of the regulations, neither of which aligns fully with the European Union.
Its basic online advice says that on the day of travel to the EU your passport must pass two tests:
1. Does it have six months’ validity remaining?
2. Was it issued less than 10 years ago?
The first condition is significantly more cautious than the EU’s actual validity requirement. For example, if you planned an Easter visit to Paris from 1 to 8 April 2021, the European Union says your passport must be valid until 8 July 2021 – ie three months after your planned departure. But the British government says it must be valid until 1 October 2021 – ie six months after your planned arrival.
It appears that the Home Office is assuming that each visit will be for the full 90 days, which is clearly unlikely.
To complicate matters still further: the UK government’s online passport checker applies a stricter version still.
Consider a passport issued on 30 June 2011 that expires on 30 March 2022 – a perfectly feasible duration for many holders.
For a journey on 1 January 2021, the passport appears to meet the conditions of both the EU and the British government. But the official checker declares: “Your passport won't be valid for travel to Europe after 31 December 2020.”
The reason appears to be: the passport will be deemed to expire on 30 June 2021 by the European Union, and there is not six months left on this definition of validity."
Expect a lot of 'sob stories' from brexiteers (usually with miserable faces in the rag tops) who couldn't get their 'holiday in the sun' because of their ignorance in voting for confusion
And without a time limited stay with EHIC - you may not have noticed the 24 day limit on your original quote?
Which kind of exposes your lack of knowledge in this matter
I’d say it kind of exposes your lack of knowledge of the typical U.K. traveller. You can always pay a couple of quid extra to get cover in Europe if you are going to be there for more than 24 days - it’s hardly going to break the bank if you’re on a long holiday is it? Don’t forget, that price was a annual WORLDWIDE travel insurance policy for £23 with a £30m health cover. How much do you think it would be to extend cover for a trip in Europe? Stop this fixation with European travel - there are other places us Brits go to!
So, Iceland then.

I pay £17 per month for my Lloyds account, one of my benefits is world wide travel insurance for the whole family.
Ask them to remove health cover in Europe as you are fully covered on your EHIC. That should get it down to about £16.97

What an outrage...Asking people to check their passport has not expired and is valid for the duration of ones holiday...Yes LAL Brexit has really fuķed us over.
I've only just spotted a summary of the actual Brexit deal, after doing a search. If anyone else fancies a quick read, try this - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-24/in-bullet-points-the-key-terms-of-the-brexit-deal
Which just goes to show your ignorance of those who are not a 'typical U.K. traveller' and who may wish to choose where they want to work/live/study rather than have a quickie in the sun...
But then that's Essex for you...
Keeping it in the family
