Another Brexit cost...

[ellal]

Imposed by our own lot to take advantage of leaving!

Passport rules changed on monday...

There is now no carry over period (it was up to 9 months) to a new passport.
But those travelling to the EU/EEA from a non EU/EEA country require at least 6 months still valid on their passport.

Which means on renewal if travelling there, you will effectively only get a 9 and a half year passport at most.

Not a great amount individually, but quite a sum across the country.

Expect more convenient 'wheezes' to come.
Because that's the beauty of secondary legislation - no debate, no scrutiny!

Must be a slow news day for this to even make it on there.

Quite sad really

Oh it gets better...

I can remember having to pay for that grey cardboard licence that only lasted a year!

Brexit - the gift that keeps on giving!

Are you saying my next passport will last only 9 1/2 years, not 10 years.

Gosh thats gonna keep me awake at night for months.

That secondary legislation, isnt it wicked.

So if a passport costs £100, then 6 months worth is a fiver

yep tis all happening "The rabid quitters" are def' pushing this country over the "cliff edge"

As well as malnutrition (possible starvation ?) due to food shortages , thousands snuffing it due to medicine shortages , 50 mile (?) tail backs on motor ways resulting in en-masse road rage, a break down of law and order ect ect

The EU will not recognise a UK driving licence, possibly a pass port ???

Blimey it gets worse UK planes may well be grounded en-masse , those abroad may well not be able to get back to the UK and will be regarded as refugees . Best stay out of Hungary on the day is my advice

It's still worth it.

And we're still leaving!

 

[Doug99]

All these limitations already exist if I decide to travel to countries outside of the EU...............duh!

 

[Bosswhite]

It's still worth it.

And we're still leaving!

and we could catch the Eurostar train to nowhere !

St Pancras to Ashford. I believe it's very nice this time of year.

Indeed.

UK passport holders miss out on 21 million years of travelling. Straight from the JD School of Relevance

The EU will not recognise a UK driving licence

And of course the UK can respond in kind and refuse to recognise eu driving licenses. Should help keep foreigners and foreign truckers out.
Roll on no deal.

So who loses under that scenario?

Oh that's right, mainly ordinary people...

People who have made their lives in various European countries for many different reasons, or who simply want to enhance their life experiences instead of looking inward.

The thing quitters just don't seem to get is that the rest of the EU population will still have 27 countries to choose from.

I have a feeling that the general feeling will be...
Go to the UK with all their petty regulations?
Or go somewhere we are more welcome!

So its OK for the eu to take such action which you gleefully support but if the UK responds with the same medicine you throw yer toys out of the pram.
Pretending you care for "ordinary people".
Sums you europhiles up nicely. Two faced bstards.

Top man.my thoughts indeed.Cannot see how the hell vote 2 would work...Would be total anarchy if decision was reversed

Eh?

And, (in the event of a no deal Brexit), having to get an permit in addition to a driving licence that was previously ok in the EU is not a petty regulation?
