Brexit/ Visa

[costakid]

Will Brits need a visa to visit Spain if and when we leave the EU? I guess if we leave we will all be classed as non EU citizens.
How will it effect people with UK registered cars travelling over. Insurance may be a problem.

It is Spain not North Korea! Surely you are aware that UK cars have been travelling through Europe since cars were invented.

[costakid]

Have they Katy? I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out you clever git.

For everyone else I was wondering about insurance being more expensive like it is if you drive on the African continent for example.

Well, I wonder why that is?

Don't know whether or not a visa will be needed for UK citizens visiting Spain but when I still lived in the UK we went on holiday to Cyprus, Malta, Croatia and none of those were in the EU then. Didn't need a visa.
Yes I know I quoted an example of going from a EU country to a non EU country but wouldn't it be the same the other way around for most countries within Europe?

In an other thread you were adamant the UK wouldn't leave! Had a change of mind then?

Insurance isn't tied to membership of EU. For example, there are Countries covered by the Green Card arrangements that are not in the EU.

When I cast my mind back to holidays in Spain with my old black United Kingdom passport, I didn't need a visa. I did get my passport stamped, which in some ways is an advantage.
They were very happy to welcome me as a tourist to spend the pesetas I had bought from my bank in England. They also happily cashed my £ Eurocheques, now a thing of the past.

Vehicle insurance will not be a problem at all. Insurers are capable of cross border agreements, whether or not the EU remains in one piece. The OP seems a little mischievous to me!

Masterrob, I haven’t had a change of mind. I actually think we will vote to stay in but I was just asking for advice in case it goes the wrong way.

[masterob]

Of course you were!
