if you overstay you could be arrested find high penalties deported and banned from re-entry

YouTube Video Description↓

In today's video, we discuss new rules to enter the Schengen Zone for European travel, starting in 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 travel to Europe. We give some background explanation on the Schengen Zone, the European Union and the ETIAS system, which will impact travel to Europe starting in 2025. We spent 9 months in Europe last year and plan to spend at least 3 months of year going forward. New ETIAS website https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en ▢️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks. We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest. We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.
