Hey guys,

I have a probably rather dumb question. A friend of mine from the US is supposed to visit me soon over in Germany.

Since it’s only for a short period of time (around 2 weeks), they should be fine with just a valid passport, right? Or do they need anything else to be able to travel to and within Europe? I’ve read something about ETIAS but that doesn’t seem to be until end of 2025 if I understood correctly.

They haven’t travelled outside the US so far and thus aren’t sure either.

Thanks in advance!
