. . . AND WHAT IF THERE’S NO DEAL?

÷ FLIGHTS will operate as normal, the EU has said, with UK passports likely to be unaffected until a new travel deal is negotiated in 2020 — though after March 29, UK citizens travelling to the EU will need at least six months’ validity on their passports. ÷ TRAVEL by rail (including Eurostar), ferry and on cruise ships should not be affected. ÷ DRIVING in the EU will require an International Driving Permit (IDP) and UK drivers may need extra paperwork to hire a car. Applications are available at the Post Office. ÷ DRIVING a UK-registered car will require a green card, which you can get in advance from your insurer. ÷ THE European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will no longer be valid, making travel insurance essential.
