43 countries you can travel VISA-FREE with UK visa [2024 edition]

Updated: March 21, 2024 533 Comments

One of the frequent questions I get is which countries can I visit with a UK visa. The short answer is the UK. The long answer is you can travel to 40 countries and territories VISA-FREE with UK visa.

I encourage you all to get a US visa or at least a Canada visa first. Both these visas are long-term visas. These visas offer VISA-FREE travel to quite a few countries. But if you happen to have a UK visa or applying for one, then it is still better than not having any visas at all. There are about 40 countries and territories you can visit with a UK visa.

UK tourist visas are mostly short-term (C-Type) visas valid for 6 months. The UK does issue long-term visas for 5/10 years but it would cost an arm and a leg.

The UK visa application is not the most difficult, but it can be stressful due to its lengthy processing times and lack of customer service.

Which Countries Can I Visit with UK Residence Permit without Visa?

Visa-free travel refers to entering a country without applying for a visa due to agreements between your home country and other countries and regions, which aims to simplify the procedures of crossing borders and personnel exchanges. For example, UK citizens can visit almost anywhere without visas. The good news is that some UK residents enjoy similar privileges. If you have a UK residence permit, you might wonder “ Which countries can I visit with UK residence permit without visa ?” In this passage, we will find out the answer.

BRP vs. Residence Card vs. ILR

A UK residence permit is an immigration authorization that guarantees an individual can legally live, work, access certain public benefits and even settle down in the country but with nationalities of other countries. Here are some common types.

Biometric Resident Permit

BRP is issued to those who:

• apply to enter the UK for more than 6 months, or
• extend their visa for over 6 months, or
• intend to settle in the UK, or
• transfer their visa to another passport, or
• apply for travel documents from the Home Office.

This plastic card is usually valid for 10 years. There is a chip on it that is used to prevent identity theft and misuse.

UK Residence Card

It is known as a European Economic Area (EEA) biometric residence card (BRC), but it is no longer available since Brexit. EU citizens have to obtain other types of permission to continue staying in the UK, such as EU Settlement Scheme.

Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR)

ILR is also called a UK permanent residence permit, allowing the holder to live, work, study and engage in business activities in the UK without restriction of stay and visa extension. It is issued to those who:

• have been legally staying in the country for a qualifying period, or
• have family (spouse, partner, parent, child, or other relatives) in the UK, or
• are a Commonwealth citizen, or
• are a refugee or enjoy humanitarian protection or Discretionary Leave
• are coming back to the UK with a previous ILR
• served in the armed forces

Traveling to Europe with a UK Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) is possible, but it depends on certain factors and the purpose of your travel. A BRP is a document issued by the UK Home Office to foreign nationals who are granted permission to stay in the UK for a specific period. It confirms your right to live, work, or study in the UK. While the document primarily relates to your status in the United Kingdom, it can also be used for certain travel purposes outside the country, including Europe.

If you have a UK BRP and wish to travel to Europe, you will need to consider the specific regulations and requirements of the country or countries you intend to visit. Generally, if you hold a valid BRP and are traveling for tourism or business purposes, you can visit several European countries without needing an additional visa. This is possible because the UK is currently part of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) for immigration purposes.

It is worth noting that due to Brexit, some changes have occurred to the freedom of movement for UK residents in Europe. As of January 1, 2021, UK citizens are no longer EU citizens, and new rules apply. However, if you are a non-UK citizen holding a valid UK BRP, your rights may vary depending on your nationality, the purpose of your travel, and the specific agreements between the UK and the destination countries in Europe.

Yes, as a general rule, you can visit multiple European countries as long as you have a valid UK BRP and are traveling for tourism or business purposes. However, it is advisable to check the entry requirements of the specific countries you plan to visit before traveling.

However, some countries may require you to register your visit or obtain a visitor permit upon arrival. It is important to research and familiarize yourself with the entry requirements of each destination country.

As a UK BRP holder, you can generally stay in Europe for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This rule applies to the countries that are part of the Schengen Area. However, some countries may have different rules and limitations, so it is crucial to review the specific regulations of each destination country.

While a UK BRP allows you to work in the United Kingdom, it does not automatically grant you the right to work in other European countries. If you wish to work in Europe, you may need to apply for the appropriate work visa or permit for the specific country you intend to work in.

Although travel insurance is not a legal requirement for visiting Europe with a UK BRP, it is highly recommended. Travel insurance can help protect you financially in case of unexpected situations such as medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or lost belongings.

If you require medical treatment in Europe, you may be able to travel with your UK BRP. However, it is essential to consult with the medical facility and the relevant authorities of the destination country to ensure you meet all the requirements and have any necessary documentation.

It is crucial to ensure that your UK BRP is valid for the entire duration of your intended travel. If your UK BRP expires while you are in Europe, you may face difficulties re-entering the UK or traveling within Europe. It is recommended to renew your BRP before it expires.

Since the UK left the EU on January 1, 2021, the rights and regulations regarding travel using a UK BRP have changed. It is important to research and stay updated on the latest travel requirements and agreements between the UK and the destination countries in Europe.

Yes, in most cases, a valid UK BRP allows you to enter the Schengen Area without requiring an additional visa. However, it is essential to check the entry requirements of each Schengen country you plan to visit, as rules may vary.

If you hold a valid UK BRP and plan to study in Europe, you may need to apply for a student visa or permit specific to the country where you will be studying. It is crucial to check the educational institution’s requirements and the destination country’s regulations regarding international students.

These are just some frequently asked questions related to traveling to Europe with a UK BRP. It is highly recommended to thoroughly research and consult with the appropriate authorities or immigration offices of the destination countries before making any travel plans. By understanding the specific regulations and requirements, you can ensure a smooth and hassle-free trip to Europe. Remember to always carry your valid UK BRP and any additional documents that may be necessary for your travel purposes.

Biometric residence permits (BRP)

Changes to visa process for applicants travelling to the UK for more than 6 months

As of 31 May 23015 new regulations require non-EEA nationals, seeking permission from overseas to enter the UK for more than six months, to apply for a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).

Once these regulations come into force, the UK will then be fully compliant with the EC Regulation that requires Member States, when granting leave for more than six months, to issue a standard format residence permit document which is to be the sole evidence of leave.

Introducing this requirement to overseas applicants to Oman/for Omani nationals builds on the first stage of compliance with the EC Regulation which was completed in 2012, where non-EEA nationals were required to apply for a BRP when granted leave to extend their stay in the UK for a period exceeding six months. To date the Home Office has issued around 1.8million BRPs under the in-country application process.

The visa application procedure will remain largely unchanged except that instead of having a visa vignette affixed to the travel document showing the full leave period granted, there will be a short validity “travel” vignette that will allow the applicant to travel to the UK and to collect their BRP. Successful applicants will receive a letter informing them of the decision, which will also include notification that they must collect their BRP from the designated Post Office branch within 10 days of arrival in the UK. The visa fee is not being increased as a result of the introduction of overseas applications for a BRP.

Full guidance on BRPS is available here

Will this affect me?

The change will only affect non-EEA nationals travelling to the UK for more than six months, such as those applying for a points-based system, or settlement visa. If you are applying to go on holiday or on a short business or study trip, using a visit visa, you will not need a BRP. If you are applying for, or already have a long-term visit visa, valid for 1,2,5 or 10 years, you will not be affected by the change and can continue to use your visa as normal.

How do I apply for a visa from 31 May?

The application process is largely the same. If you want to go to the UK for more than six months, you will be asked for additional information when you complete your online visa application, which will include the postcode of your new address in the UK. Make sure you enter your postcode accurately as the collection point for your BRP will be selected based on this information. The main difference is that when you arrive in the UK, you will need to go to a post office to collect your residence permit.

Will there be an additional cost?

No, there is no additional fee and the visa application fee remains the same.

I’m not sure what date I will travel to the UK, what should I do?

Make sure you know the date you will travel to the UK before you apply. Your temporary visa will only be valid for 30 days once you receive it and you will need to travel within this period. If you receive your temporary visa sticker, and can’t travel during the 30 day window, you will need to apply for a replacement.

What can I use the BRP for?

The purpose of the BRP is to provide evidence your immigration status. You will not need to carry it at all times, but you will need to show it to demonstrate your entitlement to work or to access public services.

What happens if I decide to change my travel date after I receive my 30 day passport sticker?

If the short term visa has expired or will expire before you travel then you will need to apply for a replacement (please note that you do not have to start the visa application process again). The letter you receive with your visa decision will explain how to replace your temporary visa.

How will I know where to collect my BRP?

When you apply for your visa you will be asked for the first part of the postcode of your new address. Make sure you enter your postcode accurately as the collection point for your BRP will be selected based on this information. You will be given the details of the post office when you receive your decision letter.

Why is this change being introduced?

The change is to meet EC Regulations, which require Member States, when granting leave for more than six months, to issue a standard format residence permit document. Full guidance on BRPS is available here

Can I travel to Europe with my UK Biometric Residence Permit?

You cannot use your UK Biometric Residence Permit (“BRP”) to gain entry to Europe. But make sure to bring it with you for re-entry to the UK!

Should i bring my brp.

Your biometric residence permit card is not a travel document but a proof of immigration status in the UK. It can only be used when re-entering the UK at the border. This is why you must always bring your BRP with you when planning to travel overseas.

What documents do I need?

If you want to travel to Europe, you will need to make sure that you have a valid travel document, such as an original current passport. If you are from a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), you may be required to apply for a Schengen visa before you travel.
