English

Digitalisation does not stop at the world of travel. More and more processes, from travel bookings to tour selection, are being handled via the internet. This also applies to visa applications and entry permits. Even the future European entry registration ETIAS will be done via the internet. Most people have an internet connection and the corresponding terminals. But what do travellers do who do not have the appropriate equipment?

How ETIAS affects the UK
English

On 23 June 2016, the British voted by a narrow majority to leave the EU. The official exit took place on 31 January 2020. There was a transition period until 31 December. Since 1 January 2021, the United Kingdom no longer belongs to the European Union. This means that the UK will be treated like any other country. For residents of the island who want to visit the EU, little will change for the time being. Citizens of many countries can enter the Schengen area without a visa. They only need a valid passport.

ETIAS is on the home straight
English

The European Travel Information and Authorisation System, ETIAS for short, is to be introduced from the end of 2022. Travellers from certain countries outside the European Community will then need an ETIAS in addition to their identity card. Anyone who has ever been to the USA knows the procedure. Shortly before entering the country, the traveller must fill out a form with personal information and security questions.
