Holidays to Europe will cost more than the EU proposals to increase its planned access fee.
Currently, plans for holidaymakers from outside the block are to pay € 7 (£ 5.98) for an online permit when they enter as part of the Etias scheme.
The system will be rolled out from next year, after the introduction of the entrance/exit system, which ultimately requires biometric data to be provided to the border.
But the European Union Consider increasing the price to help with refunds on a € 350bn debt (£ 299 billion) used to finance the recovery to the Koovid, according to Politics.
Etias, which stands for European travel information and authorization system, is one of the most popular tax options before the next month before the budget proposals, the publication states.
It would be a further blow to Brits, who have been facing ropes and more red tape since then Brexit.
“A possible adjustment of the fee” is being considered, a European Commission spokeswoman told Politico.
And in a note seen by the website, the Polish Rotary Council’s presidency wrote: “It seems that there is a possibility of a gradual increase in the fee, which strengthens the long-term income potential.”
Those who enter Europe’s Schengen area may have to pay more than the expected fee of € 7 (£ 5.98)

The Post contacted the European Commission for comment.
The proposed € 7 fee is cheaper than the £ 16 charged to apply for the UK’s version, the electronic travel authorization, or the $ 21 (£ 15.60) price of the US travel authorization system.
The news comes in a time of mitigation of the relationship between the UK and the EU, hoping that tourists will experience easier passport control experiences and will experience less bureaucracy on the continent.
British tourists started using e-gates at Faro Airport After Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer confirmed an agreement with EU leaders last month.
However, they still stand in front of ropes of almost half an hour.
Mark Francois, Conservative MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, as well as chairman of the European Research Group of Tory Brexiteers, are not satisfied with any possible price increase for the Etias.
“It just gives an insult to injuries about the so-called Brexit recovery of the government,” he said GB News.
“Not only did it seem that promises that British tourists were quickly detected by e-gates in the EU countries were largely illusions, even if their immigration came through, they would now pay extra for the privilege.”
