Jet2, one of the UK’s leading airlines, continues to play a significant role in the travel plans of holidaymakers. As the summer season approaches, families are set to travel to popular European countries, including Spain, Greece, France, Turkey, and Portugal. With this influx of travelers, it is essential to stay updated on entry requirements that may vary by destination.
New Jet2 Guidelines for Travelers to Spain, Greece, France, Turkey, and Portugal
Travelers are encouraged to check the latest entry regulations before departing. Jet2 advises that requirements can differ based on nationality and the type of travel documents held. It is particularly important for those who do not possess a full ‘British Citizen’ or EU passport, as they may face different entry conditions. Detailed information can be accessed on the FCDO website.
Entry/Exit System for European Travel
Beginning on October 12, 2025, the European Union will introduce a new Entry/Exit System. This platform will affect British nationals traveling to Schengen Area countries. Key countries involved include:
- Austria
- France
- Germany
- Spain
- Portugal
- And many others
Travelers can expect digital checks upon arrival and departure, which may lead to increased wait times. Jet2 has stated that there will be no fees associated with these checks.
Specific Country Requirements
Below are the current travel guidelines for France, Greece, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey:
- France and Greece: Entry without a visa is allowed for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

- Spain: No additional entry requirements are currently in effect. A maximum stay of 90 days in a 180-day period is permitted.
