No matter what one's opinion about ETIAS, travelers need to deal with it. If you want to visit the Schengen area from the end of 2022, you have to take care of the entry permit. It is better to deal with it in time. Then the traveler has a clear head and can devote himself to his travel preparations.
The application can only be made online
This is a minor hurdle, as most people have an Internet connection and the appropriate terminal device. A laptop or computer is ideal. There the form is easy to see and the applicant makes fewer mistakes when filling it out. The use of a tablet or cell phone is of course also possible. However, the screen is very small here, which increases the frequency of errors. Sometimes there is no other way. Something when the tourist has forgotten to fill it in and now has to fill in the form at the airport.
If you don't have an internet connection and an appropriate terminal, you can of course still travel. HE must be helped by a friend or acquaintance with an appropriate connection. There are also agencies that fill out the forms. Travel agencies usually also help.
The traveler must have these data ready
Since the system is not yet active, one can only speculate about the questions. However, US ESTA system gives a rough impression, because it is to be expected that both systems will not differ very much.
First of all the passport data is important. This data is transferred exactly into the form. It already starts with the name. Possible pet names, which play a role in everyday life but are not in the passport, have no place in the application. This is an official document and if the data in the passport does not match the data on the form, entry into the Schengen area will be refused. A common source of error is the passport number. If an error occurs, the document is automatically invalid. The traveler can still try to get a new ETIAS permit at the airport, but no one can guarantee that he will reach the plane.
What changes upon entry
The tourist must, on first entry with ETIAS, first visit the country that he/she has indicated on his/her application. For further entries he is free to choose which country within the Schengen area he enters.
The length of stay is of course not endless. The tourist or business traveler can enter for 90 days within a 180-day period. After that he has to leave the country.
When entering the country, little changes. Probably he does not even need to carry an additional document. The passport is sufficient. The data is stored in the system. The border official enters the data, the computer displays a valid ETIAS permit and nothing more stands in the way of crossing the border.
