iVisa.com Recommends

As the Schengen zone comprises 26 European countries, there is a lot to see and do. It might be hard to choose which one to visit, so once you complete your ETIAS application, registration and online process and are ready for travel there are some important things you should consider.

• When freely allowed to move from one country to another in the Schengen area, remember to check the Schengen quarantine rules in your proposed destination country for travelers arriving from the country you are currently in. iVisa.com can help you to both learn what the specific rules and restrictions are, as well as to obtain the travel documents required for your trip.

• ETIAS is not currently a mandatory document for those travelers from all Schengen visa-exempt countries- though it will be soon, and when it is you will need to submit the ETIAS application online for the visa waiver, similar to that of the US ESTA.
