Brexit-related changes around the corner

New rules will come into force for foreigners travelling to Great Britain, residing or working there as of January 1, 2021, the Czech Foreign Ministry warned on Wednesday, issuing an overview of the said changes on its web page.

For example, business trips or study programs lasting over six months will require a visa, while tourist trips will not.  Until September 30, 2021, it will still be possible to travel to Great Britain with an identity card, after that date people will be required to carry a passport. It will not be possible for tourists to work or claim social benefits in the UK. People will also have to reckon with more expensive calls and SMS messages.
