The only constant is change
English

The world continues to evolve. Today even much faster than before. Digital technology has decisively changed the way we communicate and process data. Of course, this has also had an impact on the way we travel. In a split second, anyone can get an airline ticket and a hotel reservation. However, the advancing digitalization does not only have advantages. For example, a whole new type of cybercrime has emerged. The open borders within Europe further reinforce this effect. The unhindered entry of people into the Schengen area is paid for with a higher security risk.

What happens between application and approval
English

The period from application to approval of an ETIAS application takes only a few hours. Nevertheless, many processes take place in the background. Normally, the traveler does not notice any of this. In most cases, the ETIAS is approved without any problems. Only when one of the databases involved reports a hit is the applicant scrutinized more closely.

How long is ETIAS valid?

ETIAS is indispensable for the security of the Schengen area. The effort is low and also the costs are kept within limits. Once issued, the tourist can travel in the Schengen area for three years. Of course, travelers are not allowed to stay there indefinitely. Unlike ESTA, ETIAS has a very precise regulation. Entry is possible for 90 days within a period of 180 days.
