AGP Executive Report
Last update: 16 minutes agoETA updates for travelers: Australia says citizens of 34 countries can use an Electronic Travel Authority instead of a visa, with three key perks: visiting family/friends, taking holidays or cruises, and certain business activities. UK entry rules clarified: The UK lists what ETA holders from 82 countries can’t do—no working for UK companies, no claiming public funds, and no staying beyond six months per visit. Thailand short-stay cut: From Sept. 15, Thailand ends the 60-day visa-free scheme and shifts many nationalities to 30 days (including Liechtenstein), with some groups on 15 days or Visa on Arrival. Schengen border tech tightening: The EU’s Entry/Exit System moves into a stricter phase as the earlier flexibility for biometric controls expires, meaning more consistent checks at external borders. Liechtenstein politics with travel ripple: Liechtenstein’s parliament narrowly backed abortion legalization in the first 12 weeks, but Hereditary Prince Alois has pledged to veto—keeping the principality’s already strict rules in place. Alps as a summer escape: Hotter European weather is boosting demand for higher-altitude Alps travel, with Austrian mountain railways reporting more visitors this summer.
