    Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?

    ...and about having knives in your home, this much is certain: The Opinel 7 is explicitly prohibited in cabin luggage at Paris CDG airport for a flight within the Schengen area. The reasons are that it is a knife with a blade that is longer than 6 cm and it has a lock mechanism. It's a clear no.

    ...CDG. You pick it up at the airport of your final destination. As mentioned before, depending on how the flights are organised and how the Schengen transit area at CDG is organised, your only concern may be your departure airport in Sweden. Have a good flight and please let us know what you...

    Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?

    ...from EasyJet for those who change planes at CDG airport and it ought to be the same whether it is Berlin-CDG-Bordeaux or Stockholm-CDG-Biarritz - at least on EasyJet flights. For their passengers on Schengen flights, there is no passport control nor security check when they change planes in...

    Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?

    ...Is this a connecting flight from Sweden? I don’t know whether you even have to go through security again at CDG in this case as this is a Schengen flight. It depends on how this airport is organised for dealing with this specific kind of passenger flow. Please do let us know how it worked...

    Credentials of Confraternity of St James

    I will admit that when I read CSJ in the thread title, my mind immediately went to the UK. But the confusion seems to have persisted past posts 7 and 9, and the responses may be confusing to OP and future readers, which is why I thought it worth clarifying.

    Credentials of Confraternity of St James

    ...might have been better tailored to the specific need if the OP had stated from the start that his/her query was related specifically to a Schengen visa application rather than simply a Compostela and that the Confraternity of St James mentioned in the original post was the South African one...

    Late august 2024, route choices

    I would consider how long such a trip would take, and whether you might run afoul of Schengen rules (depending on your passport).

    Norte-San Salvador-Primitivo

    Thanks Tom. This is all really useful input for me as I think about my route. I have to keep a close eye on my Schengen days, and I don’t want the stress of time/rushing things. Runs a bit counter to why I love walking Caminos… I’m hoping second half of May might not be too busy on the Norte...

    Norte-San Salvador-Primitivo

    I’ve got to do a proper schedule to work out number of days, because of Schengen (*shakes fist*). I think I can manage within my remaining allowance. Not a lot of wiggle room, but I’d have to be prepared to change plans on the hoof if necessary.

    Booking return flights!

    Booked my return flight from the Albergue in Sarria on the CF. 5 days before takeoff. All went well, but I am from a Schengen country. I don't know if this is possible, if you are from abroad.

    Do I take a tent

    ...the various situations where someone has got away with it (whatever ´it´ is, be it poles in carry on, backpacks in the cabin, overstaying Schengen or camping wild in countries where it is frowned upon if not actually illegal) and coldly and without agenda consider your options, taking both...

    Lucca to Rome - a retrospective

    Very interesting post. Many thanks. I will be starting the VF from Canterbury at the end of April. I know I cannot - because of Schengen visa 90 day only rules - go all the way to Rome. Will finish it next year. But your post has good info for me then. I speak absolutely zero Italian...

    Can I do the camino at 16

    I think you've thought through a lot already and you are still researching; that's great. I'm a bit concerned about the visa thing because I don't remember you explicitly mentioning which passport you will be using, American or Indian. Those traveling with an Indian passport have to apply for a...

    Can I do the camino at 16

    ...you later about the details if that's okay. My understanding so far is that if my passport is valid for 6 months I can travel into the Schengen area without needing to arrange a visa before, and this applies to minors too. I'll take a letter from my parents and if necessary, maybe get it...

    SJPDP-orisson in the afternoon

    Yup which is why I sort of corrected myself further down the line.... ...but I think it matters not.....

    SJPDP-orisson in the afternoon

    I'm not sure, but on an EU to EU/Schengen to Schengen flight I don't think that there will be Customs.

    Clarification of new entry rules in Oct 24.

    The entry / re-entry is Schengen, not Spain, or Portugal. You're planning to spend 70 days in Schengen out of the 90 available to you. You do not have a problem.

    Late night taxi from Santiago Airport

    Ah unfortunately no. From the UK….will need a stamp.

    Late night taxi from Santiago Airport

    Where are you flying from? If the last leg is intra-Schengen you should be out fairly quickly, though baggage reclaim can be variable.
