Exit day is 31st October 2019
(or it may be the later date of 31st January 2020 – I will put a separate post if/when the Exit day changes to 31st January 2020)
Announced yesterday (4th September) by the UK Home Office – confirmation of return of the International Border – here

* all travellers to UK must declare to customs (by choosing the red or green channel)
* blue UK passports in 2019 (passport renewals)
* no right to permanent residence for EU arrivals (this will be by Statutory Instrument)
* visitors and travellers for short trips will be let in

* Euro TLR will permit work and property rental
