Before Brexit, UK citizens could travel, live, go on holiday and work anywhere in the EU without any special permits or visas. As of 1 January 2021 that is no longer the case.

that came into effect with the onset of social distancing measures due
to the coronavirus pandemic. Usually, young people from abroad are only
issued a student visa to the US if they choose a course of study that
requires in-person attendance.

Brexit:EU raises spectre of post-Brexit UK visa regime - by Andrew Rettman
UK nationals may need to buy visas to enter the EU after Brexit, if that is what the European Commission proposes next month.
The visa regime, to be discussed at a commission meeting on 13 November, could see UK adults forced to pay €60 each, fill in a three-page form, and wait up to six weeks before they get permission to enter the EU's so-called 'Schengen' travel area.
That is what would happen if the EU took the first option in its deliberation on whether to "place the United Kingdom on either the 'visa required' list of third countries or the 'visa free' list", due to be adopted by the end of the year, according to a new commission "work programme" that was published on Tuesday (23 October).
The decision - part of the EU's "Brexit preparedness" planning - is to be shaped by progress on an overarching Brexit deal on the UK's withdrawal and on future relations.
That deal must be agreed by mid-November if EU states and the UK are to ratify it in time for Britain's departure in March.
The visa wall is more likely to slam down if there is no deal.

Tourism: EU plans “flexible” visas for Chinese tourists
Antonio Tajani, Vice President of the European Commission, was reported telling a press conference in Beijing on Friday that the plans for the new rules are still being drawn up, but the aim is to ease the visa application process for mainland Chinese tourists.
“It is very important for the EU to have more Chinese visitors,” Tajani was quoted saying by China’s Xinhua news agency, noting that the eurozone crisis increased the importance of Chinese visitors.
He admitted however, that the current visa application process for Chinese citizens is “very time-consuming”, opening the possibility that the EU may introduce an electronic visa system in future.
While details of the new visa processes were not revealed, Tajani said the EU hoped to roll out the new policy in November this year. He also proposed a pilot visa project to encourage more Chinese tourists to visit the EU during the 2015 Expo in Milan. The 2010 Shanghai World Expo was extremely popular, attracting an estimated 73 million over five months.
