Hi
I have been speaking about this to friends, if they stamp your passport, in and out, who’s going to look at millions of passports going through the airport, trying to find the pages, I have passports from travelling to parts of the world all stamped but difficult to find the stamps they should ...

Read more...

...scan as you leave and when returning , it should show on the systems this is going backwards , we came in in August to Murcia they stamped passports, we will see when going back in November,

Nobody is going to to tasked with physically checking passports, dates of entry, exit etc will be automatically picked up by the new machines, a bit like the police mobile ANPR’s that flag up any passing car that doesn’t have insurance, tax etc.

Hi as a second home owner of a property in France can you point me in the direction to find out more information re this ?

We were intending to retire to France and I subcribe to the Connexion paper which is for English speaking residents and holiday home owners in France. 15€ for 3 months I think.

They have all the updates about taxes, rules, regulations, travel etc and everything like that plus news from the regional departments. There was an article saying a special visa was being discussed for holiday/second home owner in France. They also have a lot of info about being a holiday home owner.

You can read some things for free but not the entire articles unless you subscribe.

If you fly from Alicante to the UK your passport is scanned at Border Control gates after security but before the airline gates. There's no way to avoid these gates.

Yes there is if you fly from gate C33 at Alicante as we did last night no passports are scanned.

We only had them checked by Ryanair staff.

When you enter to security you only scan boarding pass.

We asked twice the police at the barriers further down and they refused to stamp passport as they said it did not matter
