FRONTEX is important for entry into the Schengen area
English

The name FRONTEX is still hardly known. Even the new entry system into the Schengen area, ETIAS, is unlikely to change this. Travellers entering the Schengen area must present their passports to an official. This officer is employed by FRONTEX. Despite the low profile of FRONTEX, its importance will increase with the introduction of ETIAS.

ETIAS complies with European data processing laws
English

Disclosing data on the Internet is a problem for many people. They think that afterwards they will receive unwanted advertising messages or worse. It is good that more and more people are concerned with data protection. With ETIAS, on the other hand, there is no danger. It is a state institution, so the traveller does not need to worry about the processing and storage of his data.

EU, Schengen area and monetary union - a demarcation of terms
English

Travellers to Europe are often confused by the terms European Union, Monetary Union and Schengen Area. Some believe that they can use these terms synonymously. However, this is not correct. Although the countries are partly congruent, there are differences. If you want to travel to Cyprus and apply for a Schengen visa, you will find that this is not possible. Cyprus belongs to the EU but not to the Schengen area. The Czech Republic belongs to the EU and the Schengen area, but not to the monetary union.
