EU facing huge Brexit rule change to enter Britain from October 1.

EU citizens who do not have any post-Brexit right to live in the UK will no longer be able to use EU ID cards to enter the country from October 1. EU nationals who do not have settled status in the UK and those using visas to travel will now be required to show a passport.

Under the new immigration system, only those settled in the UK can use EU, EEA or Swiss national ID cards to enter the country- the method will be accepted until 2025.

The Home Office says the policy change comes as the UK ends the freedom of movement and “takes back control” of its borders.

A Home Office spokesperson added EU ID cards are an “insecure form of identification” and insisted those affected have been given almost 12 months to be ready.
