[&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\">1. Check passport issue date and expiry<br \/>Make sure your passport was issued within the last 10 years and remains valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended date of leaving the Schengen Area. This is the core of passport validity rules for Schengen area issued within the last 10 years.<\/p><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\">2. Renew early if in doubt<br \/>If your passport is approaching the 10\u2011year mark or close to expiry, renew before booking flights. This prevents the classic passport trap where airlines refuse boarding even though the expiry date looks fine.<\/p><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\">3. Use a Schengen calculator \u2013 90\/180 day rule planner<br \/>To stay within 90 days in any 180\u2011day period in Schengen, use an official or trusted short\u2011stay calculator or Schengen visa calculator \u2013 the 90\/180 rule explained. These tools help you check compliance and plan future trips.<\/p><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\">4. Expect EES biometric border checks what to expect at European airports<br \/>On your first trip after EES, allow extra time at immigration for biometric data capture (photo and fingerprints) and digital registration.<\/p><p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\">5. Prepare for ETIAS launch date 2026 requirements for visa free countries<br \/>If you\u2019re from a visa\u2011exempt country, you\u2019ll soon need ETIAS approval before boarding flights or entering Schengen.
