How many times we as travel agents have told clients to get there Esta’s, Visa’s, Passports, and so on in good time. Now travel to Europe for UK and Irish citizens is no problem if you have a valid passport, but come 2021 when the Schengen Etias kicks in for the Schengen area countries (which the UK and Ireland are not part off) God forbid if we do not tell the British and Irish citizens family holidays could be ruined just going to Spain with delays because of a lack of a proper document. We in the travel world have to be on top of our game when it happens, for example, Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, are not in in the Schengen area, yet Switzerland are, we have some cramming up to do.
