<p>The EU has already legislated such that British nationals will not need a visa
when travelling to the Schengen area for short stays of up to 90 days in every 180-day
period. This will apply from the end of the transition period to all British nationals
travelling to and within the Schengen Area for tourism, to visit friends or family,
to attend cultural or sports events or exchanges, to attend business meetings, for
journalistic or media purposes, medical treatment, for short-term studies or training
and any similar activities. Further detail is available on the European Commission's
website.</p><p>Provisions for British nationals intending to stay in the Schengen
area for longer than 90 days in any 180-day period will depend on the approach taken
by the EU or by the relevant Member State (s). British nationals intending to stay
in the Schengen Area for longer may need a visa or permit to do so. Member State rules
vary and British nationals should check with the Embassy of the relevant Member State
for what type of visa or permit, if any, they will need.</p><p>The FCO's Travel Advice
pages provide the most up to date information on entry requirements for travellers.
We will update those pages if there are any changes for British nationals travelling
to EU Member States.</p>
