• Visa and Passport

  When travelling to Europe, it’s crucial to ensure your passport and visa requirements are in order before departure. Passport Requirements: Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond your intended stay in Europe. It should also have been issued within the last ten years and�have sufficient blank pages for entry and exit stamps. Visa Requirements: If you are a national of India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh, you must obtain a Schengen visa before travelling. This visa allows entry into any of the 27 Schengen countries for short stays (up to 90 days within 180 days). Ensure you apply for your Schengen visa well in advance, as processing times may vary. Nationals of British, American, Australian, Canadian, and other visa-exempt countries currently do not require a Schengen visa for short stays (up to 90 days within 180 days). However, starting in 2025, all visa-exempt travellers (including British and American citizens) must apply for ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) before entering the Schengen Area. The ETIAS application is a simple online process that requires travellers to provide personal information and pay a small fee (€7). Once approved, the authorisation will be valid for three years or until your passport expires. Entry/Exit System (EES): From Early 2025, the EES will be introduced across Schengen countries. This system will electronically record the entry and exit of all non-EU travellers, replacing manual passport stamping. Travelers’ biometric data (fingerprints and facial images) will be recorded during their first entry into the Schengen Area.
