Europe will start charging for entry in 2024

  1. I honestly don’t get this.

    Like sure, 7€ is not that much, but it’s still a nuisance and goes completely against the idea of Visa-free travel.

    I don’t really get what we are getting out of this?

  2. Implementation of the advance permit for entry, tied to your ID and passport, that is totally not a visa, continues to get delayed (yes, I do feel the same way about ESTA). There must be significant concern behind the scenes about the impact of an essentially negligible charge of 7 euros on travel and tourism.

  3. An idiotic idea, I have never paid to enter a non-visa country, why should the unions friends need to pay?

  4. Well first time I heard of this was like 2013? Max 2015, and pretty much every year it has been coming next year. I will believe it when it actually comes.

    7€ for 3 years is nothing and to be fair, I barely understand why are they even doing it if it’s not needed to be done each time one wants to enter EU, like it was originally planned.

  5. The smartest thing would be to make it reciprocal, if a country charges any EU nation, then all EU nations charge them entry back. It would be a good way to dissuade such practices.

  6. >It’ll cost 7 euro ($7.43 on Friday afternoon’s exchange rates) and will cover you for three years. However, compared to the ESTA – $21 for two years – that’s admittedly kind of a bargain.

    That’s actually a pretty good deal.

  7. Ooo this is almost shameful for the UK.

    Brits that go to Gibraltar cannot stay more than X months and now need to pay the EU for it.

    I don’t think that it will include northern Ireland because they have their own freedom of movement but if it gets there too then the it’s pretty bad.

    I feel sorry for the 48% that voted to remain
