Hi, 

Can anyone say for certain whether UK nationals can arrive from outwith the UK if they don't have residency? As an example, could I travel from Amsterdam en-route from work in another country if I haven't been in the UK since November last year? 

Thanks

I have been corresponding with the EU regarding ETIAS.

The EU has informed me that before ETIAS becomes live there will be another barrier to entering the EU.

The EU entry & exit scheme (EES) is scheduled to start in October. It will register non-EU nationals each time they cross each border of participating European countries-EU member countries except Cyprus & Ireland plus Norway, Iceland, Switzerland & Liechtenstein.

The EES system will automate border control procedures & replace passport
