Entry rules change often, and getting them wrong can mean being turned away at the gate. Our visa & entry guides explain the big changes in plain English — the EU’s EES biometric border and upcoming ETIAS, the UK ETA, and common transit-visa questions — and link straight to the official source so you can confirm.
Important: This is general guidance, not legal advice. Entry rules, fees and dates change — always confirm your situation with the official government authority for your nationality and destination before you travel.
What we cover
- EES — what the EU biometric border means at the airport for non-EU travellers.
- ETIAS — who will need it, and the difference from a visa.
- UK ETA — who needs one, the cost, and applying before you fly.
- Transit visas — whether you need one for a layover, by country.
We only ever link to official government application pages — never to third-party “visa service” resellers. Last reviewed: June 2026.
