Brexit-related changes in force

New rules have started to apply for foreigners travelling to Great Britain, residing or working there as of January 1, 2021.

For example, business trips or study programs lasting over six months now require a visa, while tourist trips do 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 is not possible for tourists to work or claim social benefits in the UK.

People also have to reckon with more expensive calls and SMS messages.

The Czech Foreign Ministry has posted an overview of the said changes on its web page.
