The joys of the European ID card

9 comments
  1. UK: has an exception for Gibraltar. An ID is sufficient.

    Georgia: Some acceptance difficulties esp. when transiting through Turkey

    Montenegro: Lets you stay 30 days max instead of 90 days

    Tunisia: Only for package tours. You have to carry the flight booking documents for both flights and the booking confirmation for your hotel always with you.

  2. I love how the ID Cards and Driving licenses haven’t actually changed, but the UK and EU simply stopped official acceptance of each others ID because of Brexit.

  3. Permenant Swedish residency (and application in for citizenship) + British passport – woop, I can go to the crazy Island as well.

  4. As someone living in Austria (surrounded by only Schengen countries) having an ID is a no brainer for me (of course I also have a passport).

    Even though it’s not mandatory and costs extra (and many people don’t have one, but nearly everyone has a passport of course) it’s just so more convenient, I live close to several land borders in Austria and I just always have my ID in my wallet, so if I happen to randomly go to Germany or Italy or Switzerland I can just do that without thinking. Even if I’m flying within Schengen I never bring my passport…
