    They are right. But at this point we don’t really know when it will be deployed. Could be late 2025.

    Happy New Year, Sorry for the late reply. The last time I was in Hong Kong was June of 2024 and I stayed 8 days. I visited 3 other times before that and this last time was the only time I was asked more questions. From what I’ve heard it’s pretty hit and miss if you will be asked for more information but I just told the officer a basic itinerary for our stay, what hotel we were staying in and showed an ongoing ticket. They were polite when talking to me.

    We went to Germany in December 2023 with zero problem. We flew out of Detroit to Amsterdam then to Munich. I would love to return and explore more of Europe. My understanding of the new Etias is that it has not been implemented yet. They continue with delays. I continue doing research to find out the details. From what I have discovered, entry into the Schengen countries will be determined by several factors. Severity of the crime, time since convicted and country of origin. They are more focused on refugees. We won’t know for sure but from what I read, if it’s been more than 10 years since conviction, a no-contact crime and not a listed country of origin you will be allowed entry. For more serious crimes, length of imprisonment, and time since conviction it will be taken on a case by case basis. I get the feeling they are not planning on banning PFRs specifically. I think they are addressing all crimes. Until the ETIAS is implemented we won’t know for sure.

    This year we plan to return to the Caribbean. Next year we are looking at Greece and Croatia. I will let everyone know my experience
