Within European Union, you need to have an ID card and passport. Not just when you cross a country line but whenever you travel by air! If you’re going to stay for longer than three months, you’ll need to provide proof of identity when arriving there. In some countries, visas may be required for entry into the country. For example, if you want to visit the Netherlands you can apply for a visa at the embassy of the country.
In addition, if you want to visit the Schengen Area of the country, you have to apply for a short-term tourist visa. This short-term Schengen tourist visa gives access to single or multiple entries depending on what type of visa you’re applying for. A multiple entry visa is valid for up to 3 months.

WHAT TO DO WHEN TRAVEL DOCUMENTS GET EXPIRED?
Travel documents-visa can be expired due to unexpected extended stay abroad. So what to do in this situation?
Well, European countries have some systems to deal with such cases, so you don’t have to get worried. Each European Union (EU) member state decides for itself whether they allow European citizens to enter or leave its jurisdiction without proper documentation. However, if you can prove by some means that you are a European citizen or a family member of a European citizen, then you can stay in the country. In addition, family members need to provide proof that they are family members of that citizen.
COVID-19 AND TRAVELING TO EUROPE
Traveling today required a lot of clinical trials. European member states and Schengen Area countries restricted traveling in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19. After the COVID pandemic is over, countries require negative Covid-19 tests before entering there. Before even applying for Visa, make sure to get a health declaration form.
In addition, get your Covid-19 test report make sure it’s negative. If it’s positive get yourself 10-Day Quarantine and they again get yourself tested. Other than that, you have to get the complete dose Covid-19 vaccine, as it is a must for traveling to foreign countries today.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Europe is linguistically diverse. The main language spoken there are Russian, French, Italian, German, and English. If your documents are in a language one of them, then it’s fine; but the documents are in a language other than these such as Hindi or Arabic you need to get them translated.
All the required documents including birth certificates, academic documents (if applicable), or any other additional documents need to be translated correctly. You can get translation online with the help of a translation agency or a freelance translator. All you need to do is send your documents to the resource person, clear the payments and get the translation with 1-2 days.
IMMIGRATION REFUGEES
People throughout history have moved from one location to another. Every day, people from different countries migrate towards European Union to seek protection and better life. Some of them used legal resources while others risk their lives to escape from political oppression, poverty, war, and natural disasters. Refugees don’t have any documents as they aren’t official citizens of the country, so live a very difficult life. They don’t have access to education, employment, and even the basic rights as healthcare and decent housing.
So what Europe is doing to tackle these immigration crises?
Well, in addition to asylum policies, border protection programs, and humanitarian aid, Europe is supporting immigration refugees through the Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund (AMIF).
Even though the European Union (EU) has supported the development of effective integration policies, the situation on the grounds is extremely uneven among member states. Sometimes these problems become even worse for young refugees after they turn 18 and suddenly lose their previous support network. In addition, the experience level on integration crisis differs across the Member States.
WHAT TO DO TO SUPPORT IMMIGRATION REFUGEES?
Immigration refugees are humans so they need to have basic human rights. Countries should have proper policies and laws for all refugees and immigrants. Other than that, you can support them on your part as well.
There are different ways to get involved and support them. You can start with funding opportunities available at the practical toolbox of “The contribution of youth work in the context of migration and refugees matters”. Moreover, you can contribute to the “European Youth Forum”, which offers several good opportunities for significant engagement.
Furthermore, you can also show your support by contributing local initiatives, campaigns against racism such as “World Refugee Day” and “No Hate Speech Campaign”.
