What would Brexit mean for my immediate Europe travel plans from the UK?

score:16

Accepted answer

There will be absolutely no change for you. No change in visa requirements. No change in anything.

Firstly, post-referendum the UK government need to work out terms of the exit. Based on prior examples, this could take forever! Then, Article 50 gives a timeline at 2 years from notifying the EU of exit terms.

  1. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

O.m. Is slightly misguided - there is no way to immediately do this.

Upvote:4

Almost certainly there is no immediate effect. Whatever the outcome of the vote, there will be a lengthy transitional period.

However, one cannot categorically exclude the possibility that the UK government declares an immediate exit the day after the vote and that the rest of the EU reacts by accepting immediately.
