Why Christmas is so busy for Currency

A lot of people will be looking to take some time off over the Christmas and New Year period.

However it is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year for people looking for properties abroad.

I guess the cold weather and time indoors gets people thinking about buying a holiday home or a complete relocation overseas.

It’s one area we can definitely help you with and our website is always open!

If you would like to talk about a currency strategy for buying an overseas property safely (even with Brexit), please get in touch with us on 01872 487 500 UK.

Our Currency office will remain open every working day.

There has been a lot of news in the past few days about the future of Travel to Europe from the UK, will there be new rules, a possible visa to apply for etc.

I hope I can help ease the confusion over what is actually changing and when with this timeline, hope it helps you understanding.

- 10th November 2024 (confirmed)

EU entry-exit system comes into effect, requiring British Passport holders to be fingerprinted and provide a facial biometric on entry to the European Union and wider Schengen Area 9but not Ireland or Cyprus).

- May 2025 (not confirmed, but no earlier):

Etias online permit becomes available, with a transitional period of at least six months during which Etais is optional.

- November 2025 (not confirmed, but no earlier):

Etias transitional period ends. A period of grace begins this gives travellers without an Etias a one-time only pass.

- May 2026 (not confirmed, but no earlier):

Grace period ends and all British passport holders must have an Etias.

I hope this helps.
