I don't disagree, hence this being moot.

But if one was generally travelling, no fixed plans, for several weeks... how would one honestly have several weeks genuinely advanced bookings all made in preparation? Thats the point - not everybody is taking a week in magaluf in some generic package holiday hotel.

And - oo.. what of those with campervans and motorhomes - you just point at the vehicle and say "aqui" ?


In that case they'd normally require evidence of a return flight (or equivalent) and proof of funds to support your galavanting.


which is a far more sensible general approach - but a nmix then means thos eon a all inclusive ie with a hoitel are covered.

marvellous.

How about book a couple of nights in a hostel on book.com, and stay there! They're often interesting/historic buildings in great locations, could be fun, cheap and even take you back to your yoof. Whether it does or not you'll have your legit address to give to the nice people at border control.

I'm a bit puzzled by the implication that North America is more relaxed about this stuff. Maybe Canada, as Commonwealth country? The US, OTOH, introduced ESTA before the EU introduced ETIAS and I remember being quizzed about how much cash I had for my holiday at an immigration desk in Hawaii airport in the 1980s.

The US does have that requirement. But it lets you stay for 6 months at a time, rather than the 3 months that the EU is specifying.

And the US does not insist on trying to match your departure with a preceding arrival. In fact passport checks are minimal when leaving the US, and some international flights leave from domestic airport terminals, again with minimal checks.

I have been asked about cash when entering the US. But as I mentioned upthread the concern there is people bringing in too much cash - the limit is $10,000 before you have to declare it.
