A government campaign aimed at helping British travellers prepare for Brexit changes is being launched today.
The information, published in print, online and on social media, explains the new rules coming into force for trips to the European Union from 1 January 2021.
People are being warned they may not be allowed to visit most EU countries if their passport does not have both six months left until it expires and is less than 10 years old.
European Health Insurance Cards may also no longer be valid, so holidaymakers need to buy appropriate travel insurance.
Travellers may also need international driving permits in some countries, while other warnings include the switch to a different process for taking pets abroad, which takes four months, and the end of the guarantee of free mobile phone roaming throughout the EU.
ABTA Chief Executive Mark Tanzer said: "Many people will be making plans for travelling to Europe next year, so ABTA and its members are keen to work with the UK government to make customers aware of any changes that will affect their travel arrangements."
More information about the changes can be found here.
Travellers should go to gov.uk/transition to find out about the changes.
