All those brexit benefits just keep rolling in. We need a government that will do a sensible deal with the EU **now** assuming we still can. Add hefty penalty clauses to any agreement to stop the next govt from backing out of it if necessary.

If you want a summary it turns out that leaving the EU means we’ll be treated as if we’re not in the EU any more which means more checks. So, inevitably, more checks means things will take longer.
There, saved you a click. I look forward to the usual suspects jumping through hoops to blame the EU for this.

All EU citizens (with the exception of Ireland maybe) have their fingerprints encoded in the biometrics of their passport already. The UK doesn’t do this, so the fingerprints are taken on the first visit. Nonetheless, this will cause chaos, so I have foregone my EU trip this autumn and going to Southern Asia instead. Next year will probably avoid the EU too but after that things should have settled down.

It’s worth noting that this is the case for **all** non-EU citizens when entering the EU – it’s nothing to do with it just being Brits.
We do the same thing to non-EU citizens entering the UK, and that’ll be extending to EU citizens soon.

Why do they need to replace the manual stamping of passports on arrival with fingerprints?

I also believe that when we were in the EU we helped to write these rules for non EU countries. So frankly we need to STFU and keep basking in the benefits of Brexit.

Load of bollocks. Go to any country outside of the EU and you get fingerprinted and picture taken. It takes abit longer sure, but hardly chaos

Well, there’s no point using your biometrics for personal vaults then
I give it 2 weeks before Russian and Chinese hackers to steal all this data
Iran will likely pay a pretty penny for biometrics of certain names on the List

Been fingerprinted at the US border for years now. Hardly causes travel chaos, it just gets done at the same time as the border guard is looking sr your passport..

I feel like sending this to a family friend who was pearl clutching about saving the children with OSA and myself voicing privacy concerns for facial recognition.
I wonder how the will feel about having their 12 year olds biometrics taken? Surely its absolutely fine because “if they haven’t got anything to hide” and they will cancel their holidays to tenerefe and benidorm asap.

Remember when brexiters lied that we’d still have all the same rights? 😂 that was a crazy time.
