    Spain visa itinerary ???

    ...entering various countries. The OP has explained that they do not have a Canadian passport. They have another type of "Canadian travel document" also discussed in the thread. No, the new ETIAS system will, when it is implemented sometime in the vague future, require advance registration online.

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    ...countries that don't need them. There's an open thread on this at present, created in this case by someone completely misunderstanding the new Etias rules that will eventually come into force. In that thread, the OP is given the erroneous advice that it is better to have a visa than not...

    Do I need A Visa?

    AFAIK and AFAII, if you entered the Schengen-Area without a Visa / ETIAS waiver, you are free to roam for 90 days. This freedom isn't touched by any changes in laws while doing so.

    Do I need A Visa?

    I understand your point and have enjoyed your posts. Not sure why your girlfriend had to go to the Dutch Embassy to get her waiver and as you say go through the visa process. In fact I am suprised they issue a ‘waiver’ at the embassy. For Americans who this means nothing to, up until ESTA was...

    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?

    ...along with a fee enter a foreign country a visa. I understand that they rebranded it. Anyway, neither of the US program or the European ETIAS affect me because I have passports that let me bypass all of it. We’re just going to have to agree to disagree and I’m going to un-watch this post.

    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?

    Just to avoid confusion that website may redirect you to a sub-site where the file name may change also to allow you to read the webpage in your preferred language. For example, when I clicked on the www.europa.eu/etias link I was redirected to travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en.

    Do I need A Visa?

    I could not find it on the official site so you’re probably right. My apologies. I’ll delete that portion of my comment in case anybody ever reads it! Thank you. But I still think it fits the definition of a visa. It’s an entrance visa. There are also work visas, longer stay visas, and...

    Do I need A Visa?

    You got this text from the website www.etias.com - am I right? Because that’s what Google tells me. www.etias.com is not the official website. The official website is www.europa.eu/etias. The quoted text sounded sloppy to me. I was curious to see that it is indeed on the official website...

    Do I need A Visa?

    I thought I had read somewhere that you can get it at the border or at the airport, but I couldn't find that again.

    Do I need A Visa?

    If you get the ETIAS travel authorization you are a national of a friendly and privileged country that are apparently of good character and are thus allowed to get inside a border entry point where they can give entry approval (or not so don't annoy the immigration or custom agents). If you meet...

    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?

    It's not. You will need the ETIAS before you are allowed to board the plane, just like European (and other) passport holders need to apply for an ESTA before traveling to the US.

    Do I need A Visa?

    Well, of course I agree it’s not as complicated as getting a full on longer stay visa with interviews, etc. But it’s an extra step you have to do besides just showing your passport to passport control. I’ve gotten a visa to countries in Asia where I just got the visa at border control. It...

    Do I need A Visa?

    Did you get a full visa for Australia or an ETA? The ETIAS will be like Canada's and Australia's ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) and the USA's ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). All of these are for short term (usually 90 day) stays, and the application can be done online in...

    Do I need A Visa?

    ETIAS is nothing like getting a visa! While it will be new to USA passport holders, it and similar programs have been in place for other nationalities to enter specific countries for a long time. it’s inexpensive and fast, does not require one to ship off their passport to a processing office...

    Do I need A Visa?

    Well I guess it’s about magnitude from a consumer standpoint, irrespective of terminology. Certainly a UK citizen getting a USA visa is quite a process. Getting an ESTA is pretty easy! Even if you forget to apply like me and have to apply enroute, possible if crossing a land border, trickier...
