Among the 60 non-Schengen countries that are under the visa waiver agreement is Micronesia, an island country in the western Pacific Ocean. Micronesian nationals are free to enter Schengen states by only presenting their passports upon arrival. However, that is about to change with the introduction of a new travel authorization system called the ETIAS. The name is an acronym for the European Travel Information and Authorization System.
ETIAS is one of the Schengen Area’s best responses to terrorist attacks and illegal immigration that has been rampant in Europe since the early 2000s. Designed to collect information from travelers coming from visa-free countries including Micronesia, the ETIAS will be able to identify individuals who are a threat to the security of Schengen citizens and tourists visiting the region. From 2022 onwards, citizens of non-Schengen nations enjoying visa-free entry into the region will be required to get a Liechtenstein ETIAS authorization when traveling into the Schengen Area. Learn how to get your Liechtenstein ETIAS for citizens of Micronesia by reading the information below.
Frequently Asked Questions
What will the ETIAS be able to do?
The ETIAS application process was designed to be convenient for all eligible travelers. Visitors who can apply for the ETIAS will need to complete an application form which is available on iVisa.com. The system will access reputable databases to gather information about the applicant, which it will analyze. When the evaluation determines that the applicant does not pose a significant security risk to the countries in the region, the ETIAS will then issue the Liechtenstein ETIAS for citizens of Micronesia.
How many days do I need to wait for the approved ETIAS?
Once the ETIAS application form has been completed and submitted, the central unit will process the request and begin the vetting process for the applicant. In most cases, the system can make a decision within 4 days of the application. However, there are instances when the decision can take up to 28 days, especially when the application is complex or it needs more information and documents from the applicant. When the applicant passes the vetting, he will receive his Liechtenstein ETIAS for citizens of Micronesia in his inbox.
What do I need when applying for ETIAS authorization?
Applicants for the ETIAS authorization will be asked to provide the following:
- A scanned copy of their valid passport for reference.
- A valid credit or debit card to pay for the application.
- An active email address where their Liechtenstein ETIAS for citizens of Micronesia will be delivered.
How long can I stay in Liechtenstein using my ETIAS?
Your Liechtenstein ETIAS for citizens of Micronesia travel authorization will allow you to stay for a total of 90 days in any 180-day period.
