Do we need visa for Europe?
International driving licenses
Is the EHIC still valid?
Can EU people work in the UK still?
What happens with customs?

We will have left the EU - but what kind of things happen practically with the transition period?

I heard Boris is gonna like everyone not British on buses and send them home. And I saw trump arrive earlier so they could exchange on the NHS sale.

Nothing is due to change in the transition period in practical terms - the Withdrawal Agreement is on the .gov website and the EC website and outlines what the situation will be.

Behind the scenes the government will be frantically negotiating with the EU to draft, sign & ratify a comprehensive trade treaty (hollow laugh) whilst Nigel Farage will no doubt be all over TV saying that Brexit has happened and the world didn't end.

Fast forward to this time next year & we'll be back in 'no deal' panic & turmoil as the trade agreement won't be ready & we'll either face a 'no deal' Brexit or an extension to the transition period. So Groundhog Day basically......
