Iceland ETIAS for Citizens of Paraguay

Most countries in the world are preparing themselves for changes in international policies that will come in the next few years, and Europe is no exception. Due to unresolved challenges in security and border management, the European Commission is seeking to improve on the measures that are now in place to vet and monitor visitors coming into the Schengen Area, especially with the region being a popular destination for people on business or on holiday.

The result of their efforts is the creation of the ETIAS, which is an acronym for the system called the European Travel Information and Authorization System. Iceland, which is a member of the Schengen Agreement, is also pushing for the Iceland ETIAS for citizens of Paraguay to be launched at the same time as the rest of the system. It will be charged with collecting information on eligible travelers who are applying for the authorization, assessing that information, and deciding whether it will approve the application or not. It is expected to streamline the movement of people coming in and out of the Schengen Area, as well as to improve border security protocols exponentially.
