Brits Urged to Check Passports, Visas Before Summer

British travelers prepare for summer holidays by verifying passport validity, condition, and necessary visas as new regulations approach. Officials emphasize checking documents in advance to avoid disruptions from looming changes like the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), mandatory from February 25, 2026, for non-British/Irish citizens. Dual British citizens must use a UK passport or Certificate of Entitlement to enter, ending the option of foreign passports alone.
