Petition Action

Allow all EU, EEA and Swiss nationals to enter UK with ID card

Petition Details

We are looking for the Government to find a way to change entry rules so that all EU nationals can enter the UK for immigration purposes on their ID cards.

Additional Information

Currently only those with settled status can enter using their ID card, and only if they have the details loaded into their settled status account.

The EU, EEA and EFTA are our closest trading partners and we would like to see the rules at UK Border Force amended to allow for all Europeans (Incl Swiss) to be able to enter on their ID cards
