EES biometric registration takes place at external borders; it is not an online pre-arrival application. ETIAS is not operating; official diplomatic updates expect 2027, with no fixed launch date.
Geldigheid paspoort: Non-EU short-stay visitors: issued within the previous 10 years and valid at least 3 months after planned Schengen departure.
