7 Euros to get out of this country is a bargain I say……. I read that the going rate on TikToc is 7K to get in. Who is right and who is wrong here ?

I don't know where your forty odd quid comes from but a month's groceries has risen by more. There is no positive to Brexit. So glad you asked. Well it costs (or did cost) every UK peep 34p per day to belong to the EU.And where did you get that little gem from?

I just googled 'how much does it cost uk per person eu' It came up with that.. eu-rope.ideasoneurope.eu/2019/11/26/eu-membership-for-just-34p-a-day-each/Anyway FFS, do you (or anyone) feel comfortable contributing to building a Trump wall in lithuania for 30 million to keep out migrants ?....so you can keep your FOM ! I am no expert, but that wall looks quite sharp. That could hurt. I don't remember the UK building one in Dover ! See the point I am making.

I’m really looking forward to it, it lasts for 3 years and for multiple visits, removing the need for visas. From the article: In general, visas are required for entry to EU countries for non-EU nationals. But a visa is not needed for visits of up to 90 days in an 180‑day period for nationals of countries for which the European Community has abolished the visa requirement. That includes the UK, the US, Canada and Australia, among others. At the moment for instance, British passport holders who do not hold a residence title in an EU country, can enter Europe for short visits and tourist trips without having to pay a fee or organise a visa – although Covid restrictions have made travel a lot trickier. The EU Commission said the ETIAS will not change “which non-EU countries are subject to a visa requirement and will also not introduce a new visa requirement for nationals of countries that are visa-exempt”. I admit to not having read the article. But I have read the ETIAS scheme details and I’m not convinced this is right. I seem to recall that the current visa waiver for 90 days is only until ETIAS is live. And I’m also not convinced that having a Carte de Séjour here will persuade a border guard to let you in to another EU country without an ETIAS stamp. 2.33€ a year to go where-ever you like in 60 or so countries is really not that much of a hardship surely?

I was wondering if being an EU resident means to go to other EU countries the 7€ is not payable. It's not a lot so not concerned,

My understanding is that the 7€ fee is for entry into the Schengen area. French residents are already there so are not required to pay.

This explains it better (scroll to the bottom), and if I read it right if you are legally resident in France than it does not apply to you to travel into and out of France. However if you wish to travel elsewhere in Schengen then it will, although it is as clear as mud:
