Golf: Sports Competitors

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what the current travel arrangements are for British professional golfers travelling to Europe.

Answer

Travel requirements can differ for British golfers and other professional sportspeople across Europe. For instance, as UK nationals, British golfers are able to travel visa-free to the Schengen Area for short-term visits (up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period) to compete in events.

Professional golfers undertaking paid work in any country they are visiting should check the entry requirements and rules for that country, in case they need to apply for a visa, work permit, or provide other documentation.
