Applicants will need to provide travel documentation, such as a passport, as well as personal information, education level, current occupation, anticipated trip details, and any criminal convictions. While most applications are processed within minutes, some take longer to yield a decision and the European Union advises visitors to apply “well in advance.” A response is promised within four days but could be extended by 14 to 30 days depending on the circumstance.
Once the authorization is secured, however, it is valid for up to three years or until the visitor’s passport expires.

settlement announced earlier this year.
Meta agreed to the payout, but denies any wrongdoing. The deadline
to file a claim is Aug. 25, 2023. If you file a claim by mail, it has to be postmarked by that date. If you file it online, it needs to be done

ReplyDeleteIf you get a chance, try the Pitterkeller for a glass of Paracelsus or Zirkelwirt for some Dunkel and good home-cooked food.
DeleteIn Salzburg, I will look for it. I know the Augustiner Bier Garten is gonna be a very favorite hangout. Thanks!
DeleteConsider traveling about 25 miles south of Salzburg to Werfen to see Castle Hohenwerfen (aka Schloss Adler from Where Eagles Dare)
DeleteThere are probably enough practical things that schools aren't teaching, such as how to do your taxes, balance a checkbook, make a monthly budget, plan a week of meals, etc. But a course on ballroom dancing, etiquette, and manners could all be considered useful life skills.
