À propos
Jonas trained as a lawyer in Hamburg and now explains European border rules in plain English. He tracks EES, ETIAS, the UK ETA and the 90/180 rule, keeps a changelog on every page, and does not guess when the regulation is silent. If a date on his page has passed, the page has been updated.
