Travelling to Scotland after Brexit: Simple, Safe, and Well Supported

We understand that sending your child to the United Kingdom can raise questions, especially since Brexit. The good news is that travelling to Scotland for a short summer camp is still very straightforward, and we make the process as simple and stress-free as possible for families.

Documentation and healthcare

Children travelling to Scotland from Spain only need a valid passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). The ETA is applied for online, takes around 10 minutes, and costs approximately £10–£16 depending on the time of application. It is not a visa and does not involve a complex process.

Scotland continues to accept the European Health Insurance Card, and our campus also has an on-site medical centre, providing additional peace of mind for parents.

Arrival and departure at Edinburgh Airport

All students are personally met at Edinburgh Airport by our team on arrival and transferred to the campus by private supervised coach. At the end of the camp, we provide the same service in reverse, accompanying students from the campus back to Edinburgh Airport for their return journey.

This door-to-door supervision in Scotland ensures that students are never left to manage transport on their own.

Travelling independently: easier than many parents expect

Many teenagers travel independently to and from the UK every year. For students aged 15 and over, flying alone is usually very straightforward, with clear procedures at the airport and airline support throughout the journey.

For younger students, most airlines offer a chaperone or unaccompanied minor service, which can be added when booking the flight. This means airline staff supervise the child from check-in to arrival, providing extra reassurance for families.

Experience and reassurance

We have been organising travel to our Scottish campus since 2018 and are very experienced in supporting international students and their families at every stage of the journey.

As these places are limited, we recommend checking the full program to see how many spaces are currently available.

If you have any questions at all about travel, documentation, or arrival arrangements, our team is always happy to help.
