As British Citizen do i need Visa Europe ?

As British Citizen do i need Visa Europe ? Visa and border arrangements If the UK leaves with a deal, travel to the EU will remain the same as now until at least 31 December 2020. You will not need to apply for a visa to travel or work in the EU during this time. If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the rules for travelling or working in Europe will change after 29 March 2019. The European Commission has proposed that in a no deal situation, if you are a British Citizen, you would not need a visa for short stays in the Schengen area or elsewhere in the EU. You would be able to stay for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Visits to the Schengen area within the previous 180 days before your date of travel will count against the 90-day limit. If you are intending to stay in the Schengen area for longer than 90 days, or your stay would take you over the 90 days in the 180-day limit, you may need to get a visa before you travel.

“Learn This, and Your Life Will Change Forever!”

“Learn This, and Your Life Will Change Forever!” I’d like you to imagine a garden. In this garden, the soil is always rich with nutrients and what you plant, it will grow. There is rain and sun so you don’t have to worry about anything. You can plant anything. There are no restrictions. You can plant roses or you can plant poison ivy. You can plant tomatoes or you can plant nightshade, a deadly poison. What you put in, as a seed, will eventually grow into something much bigger. This garden is your mind and the seeds you can plant are your thoughts. Your mind is a fertile place where the thoughts you plant, will grow and make up for what your life is. Or as the old passage from the Bible goes, from the book of proverbs, chapter 23, verse 7: “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,". Your thoughts, your convictions, manifest the surrounding reality. Your life, good or bad, is nothing more than a reflection of the thoughts you’ve planted in your mind and...
