ETIAS increases the importance of FRONTEX
Undefined

FRONTEX is one of those acronyms that is hardly known among the population. FRONTEX means frontières extérieures and is the European Border and Coast Guard Agency. Its task is to monitor the external borders of the Schengen area and prevent unauthorised entry. FRONTEX officers are responsible for border control, among other things. With the introduction of ETIAS at the end of the year, the importance of ETIAS is increasing.

ETIAS is the European entry permit that is supposed to make entry into the Schengen area safer from the end of 2022.

Nevertheless, many things can already be said with a fair degree of certainty. It is enough to take a look at the related ETIAS system to get an idea of what data travellers will have to transmit in future.

Croatia for Game of Thrones fans
Undefined

Croatia is a country of longing for many series fans, as it is home to several locations of the legendary TV series Game-of-Thrones. People within the EU only need an identity card or passport. But what about people in other countries who would also like to visit the locations? Although Croatia is part of the EU, it is not yet part of the Schengen area. A Schengen visa is therefore not yet valid in the country.
