Partner Pack: ID Cards
Changes to travelling to the UK using EU, EEA and Swiss ID cards
European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss nationals can currently travel to the UK with a valid passport or a national identity (ID) card.
From the 1 October 2021, changes to government legislation will mean that most EU, EEA and Swiss nationals can only travel to the UK using a valid passport, unless they have applied to the EU Settlement Scheme by 30 June 2021 or otherwise have protected rights under the Citizens’ Rights Agreements.
