After leaving the EU, the UK will now introduce rules that will tighten border crossings, an associate professor at Corvinus University in Budapest has brought this to our attention.
As is well known, it was until now sufficient to present an ID card for those coming from Hungary as part of the European Economic Area, but this is now being phased out.
In other words, you can now only enter the UK with a passport valid for the duration of your stay.
– said Zoltán Gálik, also recalling that all the changes that came into effect gradually in the last year and a half – as a barrier to freedom of movement – will remain very important, especially for stays of more than six months.
However, ID cards are accepted as valid travel documents from those with established or pre-determined status. Corvinus docense added that an important change compared to the facilities that were introduced in 2004 is that you have to be able to prove it again at the border if you are coming for tourism. That the person is able to support himself/herself during the trip and that there will be cover for the return trip, and that he/she already has accommodation, which he/she can show the address. “If you are asked if you will definitely leave the UK at the end of the trip, we need to be able to answer something specific with yes,” Zoltán Gálik said. But this is also not accidental, the border guards have the right to return anyone at the border, so it is very important that
No one should joke about strict rules.
According to expert advice, whether we are staying in the UK for a longer period of time, for example to study, or just for a shorter period, let’s always take a look at the rules that apply for different time periods. Zoltan Galic added that it is generally true that you can stay in the UK without a visa for up to six months.
