There are many questions to answer when applying for ETIAS in the future. Most people do not consider questions about their name, gender and passport number to be a particularly big violation of their privacy. The situation is different with health data. As one knows from the ETISAS application, health data is also asked for. Presumably, this will also be the case with ETIAS.
Only security-related health questions have to be answered
There is only the option of ticking yes or no to the questions. In the case of ETIAS, a yes answer is automatically followed by a rejection of the application; in the case of ETIAS, a more detailed check is carried out. To prevent this, only really serious illnesses must be ticked. If you have a cough or a cold, you can enter the Schengen area without hesitation. The same applies to a chronic illness that is well controlled. In the case of certain serious illnesses, entry can be refused.This only applies to the health questions. Other questions must be answered precisely. For example, anyone who has committed a criminal offence in the past or has taken narcotics must state this. The traveller may then have to apply for a visa. If a false statement is made, the traveller may be barred from crossing the border in the future. It is better not to risk this.
Get help filling in the form
Many travellers are not sure about some questions. If he or she ticks the wrong box or gives an answer that is not correct, the entire application may be invalid. Often, the tourist will still receive a permit. The official does not have the passport in front of him or her, so he or she cannot check a wrong entry. This only fails at the border and the traveller is turned back or has to fill out a new application shortly before departure. Four eyes see more than two and the probability of a mistake is reduced.
The application can only be filled out via the internet
The Internet is the dominant medium of our time. Nevertheless, many people do not have an Internet connection. In the future, this will certainly become less, but many people still do not want to have anything to do with this medium. In this case, entry into the Schengen area is also possible. Those affected must have a friend fill out the application. If no one is available, a travel agent or agency can also do it.
A permit does not guarantee entry
Finally, a short note that occasionally causes problems when entering the USA. It can be assumed that this also applies to ETIAS. A positive ETIAS decision does not guarantee entry. The decision rests with the FRONTEX official. If the official is of the opinion that the traveller poses a threat to the internal security of the Schengen area, he or she will turn the traveller back at the border. Tourists and business travellers should therefore refrain from making joking remarks that could possibly trigger security concerns on the part of the official.
