Travel documents for EU nationals and their non-EU family members residing in the UK

Travel to the UK

If you have UK Settled or Pre-Settled Status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you can continue to enter the UK with a valid passport or identity card. Your non-EU family members who also have UK settled or pre-settled status can enter the UK with a valid passport and may be required to present their UK-issued biometric residence card or an EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) travel permit.

Travel to an EU country

As an EU national, you have the right to travel to any EU country with a valid passport or ID card. Your non-EU family members may need an entry visa, depending on their nationality. Read more about travelling in the EU with your non-EU family members and how to apply for a visa if they need one. Residence cards for non-EU family members previously issued by the UK under the EU rules on free movement are no longer valid.

To enter or transit the UK you will need a valid passport, which must be valid for the duration of your stay in the UK. ID cards are not accepted. As a rule, the UK does not require a visa for short stays up to six months for tourism and business, but check the rules that apply to your situation before you travel.
