UK Exit Checks: Are people driving via Eurotunnel/Ferry affected?

score:6

Accepted answer

The exit checks apply to all passengers on all commercial travel out of the UK, by air, sea or land.

The vast majority of passengers leaving the country on scheduled commercial international air, sea and rail routes will go through exit checks. School coach parties of EEA children under 16 years old will be exempt from checks.

The advice so far seems to be that it's not having much effect on journey times. Eurotunnel for example are currently advising that passengers turn up no later than 30 minutes before scheduled departure, which is unchanged from their previous advice.

In many cases you can (or are required to) give Advanced Passenger Information which will speed the exit check.
