I have got mine. There can be no doubt then. For a few pennies only.

I also have mine, got them last year when it looked like we might need them. Should not be needed till next January, if then.

You may need more than one, depending on which countries you intend to travel through or stay in.

That’s IF they become a requirement.

Don't need them until next year and may not then depending on what is agreed. A lot of stuff that has been talked about may go out the window with countries desperate for tourists money.

Unfortunately they are time limited.

I have one for France and one for Spain. By the time I actually need them they will probably have expired. .

Is that known as panic buying?

 

[Wellington]

I’ve got one, but haven’t checked expiry. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll add it to my list.

I didn’t panic.

I was just before my time!

Also proven by the fact that I have had a beard for 18 years, long before the hipsters made it popular and have been drinking Gin long before it became fashionable. A real trendsetter me!


As long as you don’t talk to Mrs Maison.

I got mine in December just before we went away - just in case. They were never needed but the small cost was okay as it gave me peace of mind. Yes, they'll expire in December this year but hopefully things will be a little clearer at that time.

 

[Bart]

Thanks all for the super fast replies as usual glad to hear they are not needed , now let's just hope the locals welcome us ok and that there is not a 2nd flare up of Vivid.

I got 2 last year, one for France and one for Spain. One lasts a year, the other for 3 years. Can't remember which is which

Agreed, but we got them before lockdown. Could be more awkward now.

Anyway, we will survive..........

Won't need them until next year and available at big post offices.BUSBY.

Again, correct.

It’s not exactly a major problem post Brexit. After all, some of us can remember needing them in the past.

One problem all the big main post offices have closed around here.

Would that be for Premium Quality German Motor Homes?

[PhilandMena]

I can get one from my local post office no problem. Just come of their website and UK driving licence good for rest of this year in E.U. then its dependant on what is agreed during transition talks. I don't see that going well so will probably require an I.D.P. I do hope I'm asked to produce it at some stage.

Not me only got a crappy Hymer can't keep up with you posh Surrey dwellers.

Nothing worse than paying for something that no one ever asks for, when stopped I've only been asked for my passport never asked to see a driving license.

Just think of all those €1 beers you could have bought with the money.

Tell me about it! I'm with you on this. I pay good money to keep legal the least I deserve is a bleeding check on all my documents once in a blue moon. I think there will be a shed load of checking after December.
