Petition Seek agreement for visa-free travel to EU for six months a year

UK citizens can only visit the EU for 90 days in a 180 day period without a visa. EU citizens can visit the UK for a continuous period of 6 months without a visa. The UK Government should push for parity. People are missing out on being able to see friends and family in the EU for longer periods.

More details

Thousands of UK citizens own holiday homes in Spain and other EU states. The EU only allowing us to stay continuously for 90 days in a 180 day period restricts the ability to make the most of second homes and visiting friends and family. It seems only fair that whatever we allow EU citizens to do in the UK should be reciprocated for UK citizens visiting the EU. I understand that allowing EU citizens in for 6 months at a time is essential for agriculture. We believe the same argument stands for tourism going the other way.
