Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date with at least two blank pages. UK passports are stamped on entry and exit since Brexit.

The 90-day limit is shared across all 29 Schengen states. ETIAS pre-travel authorization (EUR 7, valid 3 years) is expected to become mandatory in late 2026.

Eurostar from London St Pancras to Brussels-Midi takes 2 hours. Direct flights from London to Brussels run about 1 hour 10 minutes. Belgium uses the euro. No vaccination requirements for UK arrivals. Post-Brexit, UK nationals go through non-EU passport lanes at Brussels Airport and at Eurostar terminals. A UK driving license is valid for short visits.
