YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

In today's video, we share a travel story of how we traveled in Europe and entered the Schengen Zone illegally. We entered the area without showing our passports, without stamping in, and and without stopping at any immigration counters. We also discuss new rules to enter the Schengen Zone for European travel, starting in mid-2025. It was scheduled to go out in 2024, but it has recently changed. The new ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) goes into effect and we discuss everything you need to know to prepare for your Europe travel 2025. We give some background explanation on the Schengen Zone, a Schengen Visa, the European Union and the ETIAS system, which will impact travel to Europe starting in 2025. โžก๏ธโžก๏ธ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER! http://eepurl.com/h_P0RD โฌ…๏ธโฌ…๏ธ Retirement Travelers Website: https://retirementtravelers.com/ RVMail Service: https://gomyrv.com/RetirementTravelers My Day Trip: https://mydaytrip.com/?linkId=lp_859348&sourceId=retirement-travelers&tenantId=daytrip Chase Sapphire Credit Card link: https://www.referyourchasecard.com/19l/TU3SAODCFT Express VPN Link: https://www.expressvpn.com/refer-a-friend/30-days-free?referrer_id=67246982&utm_campaign=referrals&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=referral_dashboard โฌ‡๏ธ Our Financial Advisors โฌ‡๏ธ URS Financial Advisory Link: https://www.ursadvisory.com/ Retire with Julia Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@RetirewithJulia Click this link to check out AIRALO: https://airalo.pxf.io/rQnbrB Fare Drop cheap flights: https://faredrop.com/?fpr=john13 Video Number 166 #europetravel #schengenvisa #europe #worldtravel #worldtravelvlog #worldtraveler #retirementtravelers #travelcouples #travelcouple #etias #howtotravel #schengen #europeantravel #retirement Get Social with Us!!!
