I appreciate that there's likely still very little real world experience thanks to covid and travel restrictions, but has anyone here with just a British passport and British residency been across the channel this year, and how was the experience? Were you asked for proof of where you were staying and/or a return ticket, and proof of insurance and sufficient funds for the stay?
If you were staying on your own boat (perhaps without a return ferry ticket booked), was a mooring receipt accepted as evidence of where you were staying?
EHIC/GHIC should satisfy insurance requirements, I hope!
Was a credit card accepted as proof of funds?
And what about customs? Was the car checked? Did you manage to smuggle that new chartplotter or sail through without paying extra VAT and import duty!?
So many questions! Any real world experiences would be much appreciated. As always, TIA!
