PASSEPARTOUT . eng: VISAS AND BORDERS

for us, travelling within the European Union, passing from one country to another, is like going to the neighbour's house, it is even possible to cross borders without documentation. But one of the things you have to consider when travelling to distant countries, are the requirements they set, to allow you the entry. In this, every country is different. For some you just need your passport and nothing else. There are others where you need to apply for a visa and present a lot of paperwork. Often, you must also fill out forms at the arrival, where you do not always know what to put in all fields, so sometimes need to improvise a bit.

The countries we are visiting are usually easily accessible without many complications, for stays of less than 30 or 90 days depending on the country, although there are always little detail to consider.

We know that in some of the countries we want to visit, we need visas, but as we did not have time to apply for them in Barcelona, we are doing them here.

According to the official website of the Austrian and Spanish ministries of foreign affairs, most countries require a ticket out of the country, to allow you to enter. This makes the trip much less spontaneous. However, we heard from other travellers that in most cases, this only applies if you enter by air. If you enter by land, they don't use to ask for it.

Here you have the detailed information about Visas and borders from each country we already traveled. Click on the country to read it:
