When do I need ETIAS, when do I need a Schengen visa?
English

In the Schengen area the confusion caused by different visas was not exactly minor even before the introduction of ETIAs. Now ETIAS adds another variant. Some fear that the chaos regarding the different visas in the Schengen area could increase. But that is not to be feared. Anyone who wants to take a vacation in the Schengen area or is planning a business trip needs either a Schengen visa or an ETIAS. Those who have needed a visa for such trips so far will continue to need one.

ETIAS can also be applied for conveniently without the Internet
English

The world is digital. You can see that in the ETIAS application. It can only be submitted via the Internet. There is no form on paper, you cannot send it in and no printout is necessary. For most people this is not a problem. They are used to working with laptop and cell phone. They pay for their purchases with their cell phones and store their tickets digitally. However, not everyone owns a laptop or knows how to use it. Here is a brief guide on how this group of people will still get their ETIAS approval in the future.

Will ETIAS come at the end of 2022?
English

ETIAS should become reality for the Schengen area at the end of 2022. More than two years will pass until then. A long period, one might think, but considering the many processes that are supposed to run smoothly, the period is quite short. Now the Corona Pandemic has put the whole schedule on hold. Now many travelers ask themselves whether the planned time frame can still be realized at all.

Home office hardly affects the preparations
