Pre-travel verification for Schengen
A pre-travel registration is a check you do before booking or fully planning the travel to make sure you meet up with the requested Schengen entry requirements. The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an automated IT system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders. As ETIAS travel authorisation is an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of these 30 European countries. It is linked to a traveller’s passport. It is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new ETIAS travel authorisation After completing the process, the verification is usually prcessed within 24 hours.
