A Brexit voter has taken to social media to air his disgust at being forced to wait in an immigration queue at an EU airport.
Colin Browning, who describes himself as one of the 17.4 million people who voted for Brexit, took to social media to complain, saying that waiting in line at the non-EU gates "isn’t the Brexit I voted for”.
He said he was forced to wait almost an hour before his passport was checked at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
In a post on Twitter, Mr Browning wrote: "Absolutely disgusting service at Schiphol airport. 55 minutes we have been stood in the immigration queue. This isn’t the Brexit I voted for."
His post has been met with many responses on social media - the overwhelming majority of which showed little sympathy.
One user replied replied: "You've got what you voted for, enjoy!"
To which Mr Browning responded: "I didn’t vote to stand in a queue for over an hour why some jobsworth checks our passports. I spent more time at immigration than I did in the air getting to my destination."
Officials at Schiphol have previously warned that those travelling from the UK could expect delays upon arriving in Amsterdam, following Britain's exit from the EU, due to additional document checks .
Despite the lengthy queue, it is unlikely on this occasion the delay was a result of Brexit, as Britain is currently in an 11-month transition period where travel rules will remain the same until next January.
From the end of January 2021, though, all of that could change when British travellers will no longer be allowed to stay in the EU for more than 90 days without a visa.
Current government advice says that from the end of January 2021, 'at border control you may need to show a return or onward ticket, show you have enough money for your stay and use separate lanes from EU, EEA and Swiss citizens when queuing'.
You may need to renew your British passport earlier if you are travelling from this date as on the day of travel the passport will need to have at least six months left and be less than 10 years old (even if it has six months or more left).
If you do not renew it, you may not be able to travel to most EU countries and Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
You'll need an international driving permit to drive in some countries and if you are taking your own vehicle, you'll need a green card which takes a month to obtain from your insurer and a GB sticker.
And you may need a visa or permit to stay in the EU for longer than 90 days, to work or study for business travel.
