What does ETIAS mean for Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City
English

ETIAS is the European entry system, which should make travel within the Schengen area easier from the end of 2022. One ETIAS allows entry into 26 Schengen countries. There are four enclaves within the confederation of states that do not actually belong to the Schengen area: Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City. Will they have to apply for ETIAS in the future if travellers want to enter the Schengen area?

ETIAS - From application to approval
English

The approval of the application takes only a few hours in most cases. During this time, various processes take place, of which the applicant is usually unaware. The ETIAS system interrogates various databases. This is done automatically. Only when these queries have been matched does an employee take a closer look at the data.

 The data is stored in accordance with the principles of data protection

Which data is important for the ETIAS application?
English

In order for ETIAS to be valid when entering the Schengen area, it is important that all data is filled in correctly. The border official checks the data with the passport. In case of discrepancies he will refuse entry. Although it is possible to submit a new application, it cannot be guaranteed that the aircraft is still available. The exact women are not yet available. Due to the similar ESTA system, personal data from the passport and security issues are checked.

 Have your passport handy when filling it in
