united-kingdom european-union immigration brexit
When will a passport be needed to go the UK from the EU?
<p>When the UK was a member of the EU there was no need for a passport to visit the UK. It was enough with a ID card from your EU country or a driving license.</p>

<p>As brexit process is going on when are EU citizens meant to use their passports to visit the UK?</p>

<p>The UK remains an EU member state until 31st October 2019.
Unless a further extension is requested and granted. (One is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_(Withdrawal)_(No._2)_Act_2019" rel="nofollow noreferrer">obligated to be requested</a> if an agreement is not reached by the 19th Oct)</p>

<p>At the time of writing, there have been no changes to identity document requirements for EEA (includes EU) or Swiss citizens visiting the UK - they can enter the UK with a valid passport or a national identity card issued by such a state. We don't know today whether that will change after March 2019.</p>
