Portugal ETIAS for Citizens of Micronesia

Citizens of Micronesia already know that going to Portugal is not hard to plan for, since it is one of the countries that is currently not required to get a visa for entry to the Schengen Area. However, you should note that by 2022, you are required to obtain a travel authorization to enter Portugal and the other Schengen Area member states.

Since 2016, the European Commission has been discussing ways to strengthen border controls in the Schengen Zone. This is due to the increase in terrorism and illegal immigration within the Zone. A new system called the ETIAS will be launched by 2022. The acronym stands for European Travel Information and Authorization System.

Micronesians should apply for and obtain the Portugal ETIAS for citizens of Micronesia before their scheduled date of arrival. Luckily, the system and the application form are available online and there is no need for an appointment at the embassy/consulate.
