    Do I need A Visa?

    And importantly, this thread's OP, @duckinade will need neither a visa or an ETIAS (which isn't yet available) to enter the EU in December or to continue the Camino into 2025.

    Do I need A Visa?

    ...I need to show that I know better. It is because I feel that we should strive for clear language and clear information for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with Schengen entry requirements that apply to them and who are maybe even unfamiliar with the ins and outs of international travel.

    Do I need A Visa?

    I’m aware of all of that. If you look at my original “visa” post you'll see that I said the US “visa waiver” program sounded like a visa to me. I had a Dutch girlfriend in the early 2000s who had to go to the Embassy to go to the her “visa waiver. “ I call extra forms and paperwork, digital...

    Do I need A Visa?

    Even better, sometimes free: "When applying using this official ETIAS website, you will be charged a fee of EUR 7. Applicants who are under 18 or over 70 years of age are exempt from this payment. Also exempt are family members of EU citizens and family members of non-EU nationals who have...

    Do I need A Visa?

    ...a at a border with your passport and that was enough. Now there's an extra step that foreigners have to do or you are not allowed to enter Schengen or the United States (and other countries/zones). If you don't have one, you can't even get on a plane? It might be much easier to get than a...

    Do I need A Visa?

    How to know the difference between a Schengen visa and a Schengen ETIAS travel authorisation - both are for travel to a Schengen country and a short stay of up to 90 days in the Schengen area: If you paid €90 - it’s a Schengen visa. If you paid €7 - it’s ETIAS, the travel authorisation. :cool:😅🤭

    Do I need A Visa?

    Thats 60 days at the most so no - you are well within the 90 day limit for the stay in the Schengen zone and do not need anything (but then all of the above already said that :)) Good luck and Buen Camino

    ETIAS?

    ...that they are ready, it will start. Further details are in the proposal. Bottom line: As a traveller to Spain or any other country of the Schengen area, you don’t have to do anything before departure from your home airport. Upon arrival you may be asked to go through the EES channel or you...

    Do I need A Visa?

    ...be no new regulation that will affect your trip to Spain, your trip in Spain, and your trip back home to the USA. You do not need to get a Schengen visa. You heard something about the ETIAS system. ETIAS is not a visa. ETIAS will not be put in operation during the next 7 months (at least!!!)...

    Do I need A Visa?

    ...will not require US passport holders to get a visa. After it goes into effect those who currently can enter without a visa and stay in the Schengen zone for 90 days will need to apply online for an ETIAS, which is an electronic travel authorization, not a visa. IMO applying for a visa is a...

    Do I need A Visa?

    I see, thanks. I'll try to get a Schengen visa, then- it's probably better to be safe than sorry in this case.

    Paying a parking ticket in Santiago

    It still surprises many that their parking infringements may be recorded electronically in perpetuity, whilst their entry and exit of the Schengen zone is not.

    ETIAS?

    ...that it was EWR - the European Economic Area's German abbreviation. That's all of the EU plus four other countries, all four of them also Schengen countries. This thread is a bit confusing as it is about returning to your own country and going through some voluntary electronic gates on the...

    Paying a parking ticket in Santiago

    ...And although I don't know how keen they are - there is theoretically the possibility of entering your data into the EU's SIS database. An alert will appear on the border official's computer screen when your passport gets scanned the next time you want to enter Spain from outside of Schengen.

    ETIAS?

    ...This is a process for people coming from countries needing a visitor visa for coming to Canada. So, there is a clear extinction and the EU (Schengen) is doing with ETIAS the same thing. Means that for example Canadians, Americans, Australians will need to do only the ETIAS, which is the same...

    ETIAS?

    You just pay €7 pre travel and you get travel authority for 3 years! No boarding the plane without pre approval! I’ve have not seen the machines in Europe but they have similar in Australia. You do your entry stuff at the machines and then pass through the immigration barriers without even...

    ETIAS?

    Is not the ETIAS system uniform across the various EU countries? In the exiting process, I read that fingerprinting and facial recognition would be utilized. Does anyone know how Spain plans to implement EES. How will we get fingerprinted or get a photo taken. Will we need to make an...

    Attempted a long stay Schengen visa… I failed

    The standard Schengen Visa allows for a 90 day stay in a rolling 180 day window. So nipping out of the Schengen zone and back in again does not reset the clock

    The entire Schenghen zone.
