The deal was agreed on Christmas Eve following months of negotiations with the European Union and comes just a week before the current trading arrangements expire with the UK leaving the single market and customs union without the prospect of tariffs and quotas. But what does it actually all mean? Here, the Packet looks at how Brexit will impact our lives from January 1.
Shopping There will be no tariffs on products sold between the UK and the EU to allow companies on both sides to keep trading in a similar way to now, with the idea of preventing price rises and keeping shelves stocked.
You ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
The rules for Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania are different. You could make a 90-day trip to any of them and still not use up your 90-day allowance for other EU countries. And you can stay in the Republic of Ireland for as long as you like.
Does the 90-day rule still apply if I own a second-home in the EU?
Yes, it certainly does.
Will I need a visa to visit the EU?
You may need a visa or permit to stay for longer, to work or study, or for business travel – this will vary by country.
