EU: New third country travel arrangements

New EU border controls will introduce fingerprinting and facial scans for third-country citizens, while UK citizens will face limited work and residence rights

Key Points: As the EU begins to put in place new entry requirements for citizens from “third countries”, as countries outside the EU/EEA are known, such as fingerprinting and facial scans at border crossing points, this paper from Lewis Silkin LLP looks at the entitlements of UK citizens to live and work in the UK. TL;DR the rights are limited.

Why this matters… what you need to do: With new EU border controls now coming into force, we advise all readers from “third countries” to check what is now needed to visit EU countries.
