Lets put this into perspective.


The ETIAS will cost approx. £6 and last 3 years -so effectively £2 per year.


Less than a starbucks coffee.

How times have changed - it used to be "less than a pint of beer".

I hope the people who voted for the country to leave feel suitably ashamed of themselves.

Only £2 a year if you choose to go to Europe. Get some perspective for goodness sakes. Other holiday destinations are available.

Wouldn't this have happened anyway as the U.K. isn't part of the Schengen Agreement?

I've never travelled without insurance. It really isn't expensive for most people, family worldwide cover for a year for us is around £100. Only a fool would travel without it and rely solely on the EHIC, so no, an allowance won't have to be made for 'expensive' travel insurance.

Of course I buy a travel insurance policy on top of the EHIC but that policy is likely to be more expensive. Particularly for those with pre existing conditions.

Can't really say I've noticed it being much different when I've travelled to countries outside the EU.

Here is 1 article which suggests it https://www.simoncalder.co.uk/travel-faqs/brexit-mean-travellers/

I can't predict it but, as many insurers now require us to use the EHIC when possible, they may charge more when it isn't valid.
