Nicolas Rollason, partner and head of our Immigration team, was quoted in the Financial Times on 18 January 2021. Nick discusses the key factors that British business travellers will need to now consider as they go about their work travelling into EU countries, and the entry requirements and restriction variations that may affect this.
Companies will probably have to consult local lawyers in each country about what the entry requirements are,” he said.
Until people start travelling again, we won’t know how seriously each country’s immigration officers intend to take these rules. But he says that British travellers will probably have to get used to carrying proof of hotel bookings, evidence they can support themselves, and return tickets. This has long been standard practice for travellers coming into the EU from outside. “It’s ‘welcome to everyone else’s world’ when it comes to travelling,” he says.
