answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2024 answer text <p>Both the UK and the EU allow for visa-free short-term travel in line with their arrangements for Third Country Nationals. The UK allows EU citizens short-term visa-free travel for up to six months. Meanwhile, the Schengen Borders Code allows for Third Country Nationals to travel within the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period; this is standard for third countries travelling to the EU. While we recognise that extending the 90-180 day period is a matter for Member States and the EU, the Government will continue to listen to and advocate for UK nationals abroad.</p> answering member constituency Cardiff South and Penarth answering member printed Stephen Doughty question first answered 26/07/2024 13:14:04 answering member 4264 label Biography information for Stephen Doughty
