Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

WHAT IS THE ETIAS VISA WAIVER FOR SCHENGEN COUNTRIES?

The European Travel Information and Authorization (ETIAS) for the Schengen Area is an electronic visa waiver due to be introduced by 2022. It will permit eligible candidates to move within the 26 Schengen areas for a short period (90 days). It’s a visa-free waiver that enables travelers to visit Schengen borders (not all European countries but those have a Schengen agreement). Visit iVisa.com to learn more about Belgium ETIAS.

WHEN CAN THE PALAU TRAVELERS APPLY FOR ETIAS EUROPE VISA WAIVER?

It is expected that the travelers can submit a Europe visa waiver application at least 72 hours before the intended entry date to the Schengen area, to allow for sufficient processing time for the ETIAS. As well, the standard processing time for the ETIAS Schengen visa waiver has not been yet announced. It will be published on the official website.

IS THE SCHENGEN VISA MANDATORY FOR ALL TRAVELERS TO BELGIUM?

A Schengen visa is mandatory for all nationals of Palau who stay in Belgium for a period greater than 90 days i.e., short visits. For long term stays they need to apply for a visa as they aren’t permitted with the ETIAS visa waiver. This waiver will have a validity of up to 3 years continuously and can be used for an unlimited number of entries.

HOW DOES AN APPROVED ETIAS HELPS THE PALAUANS TO HAVE SAFER AND MORE SECURE TRAVEL TO BELGIUM?

Palauan traveling to Schengen countries in Europe from late 2022 onwards will have to register their information with ETIAS before their trip. This data is encrypted and securely stored by the EU-LISA system and can be accessed to check the traveler’s information against international databases to screen the security risks. ETIAS will be denied if an applicant is found to have a history of criminal activity, terrorism, war crimes, or genocide, or to have provided false information on their application. In this manner, security risks are stopped before they reach the Belgium border, making it safer for Palauan travelers.

Yes. There are several added benefits that the ETIAS brings to travelers of Palauan and others too for citizens of Belgium including:

• Improved security

CAN PALAUAN TRAVELERS MOVE TO THE UK WITH AN ETIAS VISA WAIVER?

No. It is important to remember that not all European countries are part of the Schengen agreement.

Therefore, Palauan nationals traveling to Europe need to check whether the country they are visiting is part of the Schengen zone.
