Downing Street has dismissed claims that people will be warned not to book holidays beyond March 2019 as part of no-deal Brexit contingency plans.<\/p>\n

It comes after the Sunday Times said<\/a> senior officials had examined the idea.<\/p>\n

But a No 10 spokesperson rejected the report as “categorically untrue.”<\/p>\n

And travel agents’ body Abta told the BBC: “The European Commission has said that even in a no-deal scenario, flights will still operate between the UK and EU, and a visa is not required.”<\/p>\n

The UK is set to leave the European Union on 29 March 2019.<\/p>\n

There are understood to be tensions among government ministers over the prospect of a no-deal Brexit, and the impact it might have on the economy.<\/p>\n

Travel freely<\/h2>\n

Last week it was confirmed that while UK travellers will not need a visa<\/a> to visit the EU, Britons will need to apply for and buy another document to travel to member states, post-Brexit.<\/p>\n

The document – which costs \u20ac7 (\u00a36.30) and is valid for three years – is called an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) and although not launched yet, is expected to come into force in 2021. <\/p>\n

The travel requirement is not just for the UK but for many non-EU countries.<\/p>\n

Under the Brexit deal,<\/a> EU citizens and UK nationals will continue to be able to travel freely with a passport or identity card until the end of the transition period in 2020.<\/p>\n

After this period ends, the European Commission has offered<\/a> visa-free travel for UK nationals coming to the EU for a short stay, as long as the UK offers the same in return.<\/p>\n

But although they do not need a visa, UK nationals will need the ETIAS – deal or no deal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
