Dover, UK: The French border control zone at the Port of Dover is to be expanded to reduce the risk of queues at peak times when new EU rules come into force in November, the government says.
Home Office minister Seema Malhotra will lay a Statutory Instrument in Parliament on Monday to allow French border officials to operate in an expanded zone at the Port of Dover.
The port plans to change the location of passport control for passengers arriving to board ferries from Dover’s Eastern Docks to a new border control zone at its Western Docks as part of major upgrades to its port infrastructure, including building bespoke facilities to carry out the checks.
