Those who tend to travel for longer periods on the continent may be interested in signing this petition to extend from 90 days to 6 months.  Gov. petition

Have done and shared it with everyone we know  with an interest.  Not optimistic but worth a try.

I wouldn't be too optimistic, either, as it's primarily a one-way ticket. There can't be very many tourists from the EU who wish to stay more than 90 days in the UK so there is little incentive for the EU to show any interest in reciprocating, and they've got more important things to sort out at present so, at best, an agreement, if any, would be discussed at a later date.

You have a point there, who is going to want to overwinter here?

The need for an ETIAS is dictated by Schengen countries, not by the EU, so the petition is somewhat misdirected.

Not all Schengen countries are in the EU. So perhaps the petition would be better directed if it were to ask the Government to seek inclusion in the Schengen agreement. But as one of the reasons people voted "leave" was to have control of our borders I cannot see that having much support.  We have to live with the consequences.

I dont understand this W2G. We have never been in Schengen so how does our leaving the EU alter things?
