  1. if it helps: citizens of the 30 schengen members (plus San Marino Monaco Andorra and Vatican) can come and go whenever they want. 60 other countries are eligible for ETIAS (if it would launch today) which is for short stay (for up to 90 days within any 180-day period) and nothing else. residence and working permits are a total different bunch of bureaucracy ! citizens from El Salvador and Malaysia are eligible for ETIAS btw. and all 5 mentioned caribbean CBI are onboard as well. especially for caribbean CBI the "access to Schengen" is a sale argument, so the caribbeans play nice. they cannot boast about ESTA or visa free access to Canada or Australia because they are not on those lists so ETIAS is their crisp cookie to wave. ;) all participating countries must adhere to schengen rules and remember: any visa policy is up to the host, not the guests; sorry to burst a bubble

  4. Norway and Switzerland are part of Schengen, UK is not. N and CH citizens (ok, ANY schengen member citizen is) are excused of a passport, ID is enough to travel around within Schengen for actual example: if ETIAs would have been in place already all english fans of Three Lions would have to fill out ETIAS applications for UEFA championship. will come true for away games in Champions League on main continent if ETIAs launches 2025.

  5.  @davidwebb4904  lot of brits were up in arms they cannot visit spain or france or other warm parts of europe. basically europe is off limits to you soon unless you pay schengen members for the privilege to visit OR you avoid the continent next door for holidays.

  6.  @davidwebb4904  7€ + valid passport and no major criminal record and you are welcome. most brits will pass the requirements with ease

  7.  @davidwebb4904  USA does fingerprints as well and collect ALL your fingers. Schengen will not bother with your 10 digits :) for example my id (my passport as well) icontains just my 2 index fingers and done, it is individual enough to verify my identity as described in the document.
