ETIAS goes live for Schengen entry

From October 2026, visa-free travellers from ~60 countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc.) need an ETIAS authorisation before entering any Schengen country. €7, valid 3 years. Apply online before booking.

1 additional warning is folded into the result card below.

Most Bruneian travellers don't need a visa when heading to Croatia for tourism.

The route most travellers use is the Schengen short-stay (Annex II — visa-exempt). Stays go up to 90 days per visit.

The paperwork is straightforward — approval is likely if your documents are in order.

1 other route sit below if this one doesn't fit.

Step-by-step checklist

Your application checklist

  1. 1

    Check your passport validity

    60+ days before

    Most countries require 3+ months of validity beyond your travel dates and at least one blank page. If it's close, renew before applying.

  2. 2

    Prepare proof of funds

    45+ days before

    Bank statements covering 3–6 months are standard. Include both savings and recent income flow — adjudicators look for stability, not just balance.

  3. 3

    Book refundable flight + accommodation

    30+ days before

    Use a refundable booking (or a free hold/itinerary service) until your visa is approved — embassies want to see real plans, but you don't want to lose the money on a refusal.

  4. 4

    On the day of travel

    day of travel

    Carry: passport (printed visa if applicable), onward ticket, proof of accommodation, proof of funds, travel insurance. Border officers retain discretion regardless of visa status.
