Reasons for Denial of the application
Most ETIAs applications will be approved in a brief period. The purpose of the system is to prohibit border crossings for those who pose a threat to Europeans. Also, who is dangerous regarding health, illegal migration, and terrorism.
To consent to ETIAS
All questions you must answer thoroughly, truthfully, and verified before applying. You must fill in the ETIAS application form with the correct and accurate information; otherwise, you may be rejected. Particular care you should take when entering details such as the passport number that ETIAS visa waiver will electronically contact. You will need to use it during the next three years of travel, so no error is allowed.
Other ETIAS Security Issues
When applying for ETIAS, the embassy reviews criminal records. A citizen can obtain consent to ETIAS regardless of past crimes.
Entry into Europe will be prohibited only for those currently a threat to both European citizens and incoming tourists. The embassy will check consular information during the pre-screening process.
Minor crimes committed in the past are unlikely to lead to a denial of an ETIAS visa. Manual processing is done individually. The purpose of the system is to prevent impending terrorist attacks.
Health Problems and ETIAS
ETIAS health questions will help European authorities identify individuals who may pose a threat to public health. ETIAS aims to prevent epidemics and protect global health.
If citizens violate the 90-day deadline and stay in Europe for more than 90 days, the ETIAS may block the applicant, and they will no longer be allowed by the consulate to re-apply for a certain period.
What happens in the case of Denial?
If additional information is requested when applying, the applicant will receive notification by e-mail. In case of final refusal, the consulate will send data to the applicant as to:
- Why they refuse ETIAS ;
- Information on how to appeal the decision;
Travelers who have finally got a denial of ETIAS may still be able to travel to Europe but must apply for a Schengen visa through the embassy or consulate. Denial of a Schengen visa will prevent a person from entering Europe.
However, ETIAS does not guarantee the traveler’s entry into Europe. The guards decide on an entry permit.
The decision to cancel ETIAS may be related to the fact that:
- The applicant obtained ETIAS under fraudulent conditions;
- ETIAS can cancel if there is a warning in the European Security Database (e.g., a stolen travel document);
The possibility of abolishing ETIAS will help strengthen the security of European countries for both locals and tourists.
