Why does this apply to the UK?
I can understand why the US needs as payback for their ESTA scheme. However the UK does not have a scheme similar to ESTA post Brexit than applies for EU citizens.
Setting something like this up for the UK seems pointless and petty.
Plus there is the issue of the land border between Northern Ireland (UK) and Ireland (EU).

- comprev 4y agoIt never was part of it, like Ireland.

- brokenkebab2 4y agoI heard that UK develops its own charging system for visa-free visitors, so I guess parity will be reinstalled soon
- mytailorisrich 4y agoIt applies to all countries that enjoy visa-free travel with the EU. The UK is one of them so it applies to the UK. The UK is simply treated the same as everyone else. Nothing petty there. I expect there will be an exception for Irish and British citizens who travel between the UK and Ireland because of the Common Travel Area.
- Ekaros 4y agoUK isn't member of EU anymore. Thus no special relationships. And EU mostly believes treating everyone else equally outside those with special rights and usually these special rights are in blocks.
