Holiday to Europe costs more like EU proposals to increase the planned registration fee.
Currently, plans for holidaymakers from outside the block are to pay € 7 (£ 5.98) for an online permit when entering as part of the ETIAS scheme.
The system will be rolled out from next year, after the introduction of the Entry/EXIT system, for which biometric data must ultimately be provided to the border.
But the European Union is considering increasing the price to help with repayments of a debt of € 350 billion (£ 299 billion) used to finance it after the known recovery, according to Politics.
Etias, which stands for a European travel information and authorization system, is on the rise as one of the most popular tax options prior to budget proposals next month, according to the publication.
This would be a further blow to British, who have come across longer queues and more bureaucracy since then Brexit.
‘A possible adjustment of the reimbursement’ is being considered, a European Commission spokesperson told Politico.
And a note from the website saw the Polish rotating council chair writing: “It seems that there is a possibility to increase a gradual increase in reimbursement, which strengthens the design potential in the long term.”

Those who enter the European Schengen area may have to pay more than the expected reimbursement of € 7 (£ 5.98)

A spokesperson for the European Commission told The Daily Mail: ‘The preparations for the launch of ETIAS are underway.
‘The ETIAS Regulation, adopted in 2018, has set a fee of 7 euros for each application, valid for a period of three years.
‘The committee assesses a possible adjustment of the reimbursement. This takes into account the increase in inflation since 2018, the extra technical functionalities that have been added to the system, and the need to guarantee a level playing field with similar global travel authorization programs. ‘
The proposed € 7 allowance is cheaper than the £ 16 that is charged to accept the VK version, the electronic travel authorization or the $ 21 (£ 15.60) of the electronic system for travel authorization used by the US.
The news comes at a time of softening the relationships between the UK and the EU, hoping that tourists will have easier experiences to do with passport control and less bureaucracy on the continent.
British tourists started using e-ports on Faro Airport After Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer confirmed an agreement with EU leaders last month.
However, they are still in front of the queues of almost half an hour.
Mark Francois, conservative MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, as well as chairman of the European research group of Tory Brexiteers, is unhappy with every possible price increase for ETIAS.
“This only adds insult to injury about the so-called Brexit reset of the government,” he said GB -Tieuws.
“It has not only become clear that promises of British tourists who are quickly followed by E-ports in EU countries were largely illusory, even if they come through immigration, they will now pay extra for the privilege.”
