Sounds fairly normal. I've been stopped before, when I wasn't on the SOR, and asked about the reason for my journey. Did the e-gates work for you and were there any other checks, such as facial recognition, or fingerprints?

+x+x+x+x+x+xPost SOR anyone with 2023 foreign holiday travel border entry experiences to share? Thank you I had a couple of trips to Spain while on Sor, had no problems, that's when we were in EU they would just wave you through. i went to Greece recently and had no problems. How recently were you in Greece Scotboy? Post Brexit and still notifying? I was in Greece last week, not notifying since 2019. And finally Scotboy, we're you able to use the e - gates? No E-gate at Kos, no problems at Kos Passport Control,.......entered UK via E-gate at Glasgow, everything was fine. Just completed a cross channel trip. All went well continental side. Passport scanned. Absolutely no problem. Returning to UK no obvious problem. But was asked by the official, in a very friendly manner if I had travelled alone and enjoyed my trip. My first trip since coming off the register. I was the first one at the desk and was indeed travelling alone on what was virtually a shuttle trip. Am I being paranoid or was this just a regular interaction? Any thoughts?

Yup, still on SOR. I anticipate being extremely economical with the truth once ETIAS finally kicks off.

+x+x+xPost SOR anyone with 2023 foreign holiday travel border entry experiences to share? Thank you Also those currently under notification requirements Travel to and from the EU has certainly become a doddle since we left Schengen. No questions at either end, only smiles. Like you, however, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone now off the SOR. Thanks Dave that is heartening. I'm sure we're all aware of the introduction of the ETIAS scheme due to be introduced. But for now your feedback is welcome. Are you still on the SOR?
