EU citizens may need a visa to come to the UK and should check if they need one before travelling. General rules applicable to EU visits are found here. 

EU citizens are allowed to travel to the UK visa-free for up to six months, if they do not intend to work in the UK or study. An EU citizen may enter the UK multiple times during six months, but may not in effect live in the UK by means of repeated or continuous visits. Business travel between the EU and the UK is also more restricted than under Single Market rules. TCA facilitates some aspects of the mobility of professionals for business purposes (so called “mode 4” under GATS rules) relating to intra-corporate transferees, contractual service suppliers or independent professionals as well as business visitors. 

New rules also apply to the type and validity of travel documents that the UK accepts – as from October 2021 most EU citizens will need a valid passport to enter the UK. However, citizens under the EU Settlement Scheme can still continue to use their national identity cards and they have this right for life.  

Some products of animal origin are prohibited for introduction in the EU. Mutual recognition of driving licences is not always automatic. Pets travelling from the UK to the EU and to Northern Ireland need an animal health certificate by an official veterinarian.
