NEW rules being introduced will make it much easier and more affordable to visit a European country.
In a new deal between the UK and Switzerland, the country is set to introduce automated passport eGates for Brits.
The scheme will allow much faster travel for Brits, and joins a number of other countries in Europe that allow the eGate passage for UK travellers.
The use of eGates is expected to start later this year at Zurich Airport, and then expand to Basel and Geneva airports next year.
UK travellers will still have to follow the new EES rules when visiting Switzerland, which require biometric checks when entering an EU country.
Another major change for Brits will be scrapping of mobile roaming charges between the UK and Switzerland.
Any Brit heading to Switzerland will be able to use their mobiles without paying additional mobile fees.
This often catches holidaymakers out who assume the country follows the same rules as other countries in Europe.
A start date for this has not been announced yet.
The changes were made in a £5.2billion agreement between the Minister of the Swiss Confederation Guy Parmelin, Peter Kyle and Keir Starmer.
Around 800,000 UK citizens visit Switzerland each year whether that be for its ski resorts, or to see its incredible lake scenery in the summer.
The new deal also means that UK ‘service’ professionals’ can travel to Switzerland visa-free for up to 90 days per year for work.
