The EU's ETIAS (like the US's ESTA) due to be introduced end of next year means non-EU citizens - including Britons - travelling to the Schengen area who are exempt from the visa requirement will need to register and obtain an authorisation before travelling. #Brexit

The fee will be €7 but will cover multiple visits over 3 years. Importantly for UK visitors, it also means the system can keep track of the 90 days rule.

The Entry/Exit System (EES) will keep electronic records of those entering and exiting the Schengen Area. All non-EU citizens attempting to cross into the Schengen Area will have an individual EES file created on them....
...Every time they enter or exit the
Schengen Area, this will be automatically recorded in their file. If they overstay their visa (or stay longer than 90 days in any 180-days period in the case of visa-exempt travellers), this will automatically be flagged by the system.

This will apply only to non EU/Schengen nationals ie "third country nationals" who do not have a passport or identity card from a Schengen country. Since Brexit, Britons with only British nationality and a British passport are considered third country nationals.
