EU citizens require passport to enter UK from 1 October

From 1 October most EU citizens will no longer be able to enter the UK using their ID cards and will require a valid passport. The British government has stated that EU citizens without a valid passport may be refused entry.

Only EU citizens with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme can continue to use their ID cards until the end of December 2025.
