I know this is difficult to answer as the legislation isn't decided yet but any thoughts on how difficult this might be?
Happy to apply for a complicated /expensive long term visa in say France, Spain or Portugal. Won't be working and will have plenty of savings /assets to show them.
Just about anything is possible at this point.
Bound to be possible.
But even the government don't know what they are doing, we can't know the outcome.
Do it, easy enough.
Plenty from my work have taken this last year out, some intend to stay another year out too.
No idea, but in 10 years Farage, Gove, Boris and so on swinging from lampposts with their entrails hanging out.
Bikebouy but we're allowed to at the moment. I'm talking post Brexit.
IIRC we were allowed to travel around Europe well before the UK even joined the Common Market in1973 so I can't see how it could be any more difficult than then.
iirc visitors from non eu countries into France have to show available finances of around 120 euros a day (per person), so over 40,000 for the year, plus medical insurance.
Working visa..
Open to all provided you pass certain criteria and can can support yourself for a certain period (not sure, but think it’s 9mths) no need to submit asset holdings nor savings.
Shouldnt change much post Brexit, unless half the U.K. leaves to Portugal 🤩🤯
Correction:
Portuguese work visas for part time, fixed term and seasonal workers. If you're going to Portugal to work for under 3 months, and are an EU citizen, you don't need a specific visa or residence card. If you're a non EU citizen then you'll need to apply for a specific visa, which is issued for up to 6 months.

Sounds like a bloody good policy.
For those saying that in the past it was fine, sorry the past has gone. Going forward who knows really. Remember everyone is talking about controlling borders and keeping out undesirables.
Holidays should be fine, you may need to get a visa waver, along with international driving licence etc etc.
But extended stays may be far more problematic, and don't forget the new visa waver scheme that is due to come in at some point. I believe Australians are on time limited visas, something like 3 months extendable to 6. You might also have a system where under 30 can take a working visa denied to those over 30.
You may also find you need to have evidence of funds, of health insurance etc.
Something should become clearer soon, but on the basis that negotiations need to be completed by October and currently the UK government still hasn't got a clue I would suggest stocking up on tinned food.
I am currently of the opinion that Brexit is 50/50,
Sounds like a bloody good policy.
Depends on the sort of world you want to build.
Sounds like a bloody good policy
It’s an abysmal policy. For example, you just stopped non EU hotel and hospitality staff spending time overseas for work experience etc. Not to mention people like nurses, research scientists etc.
anyone that thinks it’s a good policy is an absolute quarter-wit. Applying an arbitrary financial target against someone’s worth to society is stupidity
Most EU countries will surely see the value of UK visitors and will set up some scene to make it possible: however speculating about the nature of those schemes seems pretty pointless at this time. Besides, the odds of brexit actually happening seems pretty slim to me.
It only takes one EU country to decide to veto generous conditions for poor Brits (noted for being a right royal pain in the ass with their violence and beer swilling) and you're all going to have to jump through all the hoops North Africans do to get into France on a tourist visa. MSP started, I'll continue:
A biometric visa
A good reason to return to Britain. That means that a young single person with no property or strong ties to Britain would have no chance.
A good reason to visit.
Prearranged accomodation
A 60e non-refundable fee just to make the applicaton
The random factor. Something like 30% of tourist visa applications from Moroccans that do fill all the conditions are turned down.
Perhaps you hadn't realised but British tourists are detested in some of their favourite destinations. On what-destination-for-a-weekend-break threads Amsterdam is always suggested but the people of Amsterdam are overrun with tourists, would like less of them and if they could choose a group to keep out it would be the Brits:
Or the same story in a less watered-down-for-Guardian-readers style:
As for Barcelona, just don't go there, British voices aren't welcome:

So expect some EU countries to want a system that allows them to pick and choose who visits. Family of four for a 10 000e/week challet in Chamonix in the ski season, you're in. Poverty stricken 25 year old wants to go clubbing in Barcellona, lots of hoops.
