Many Angelinos who are in the entertainment industry are getting ready for “The 78th Cannes Film Festival” in Cannes, France.
I went to see my friend Adriana at SAMEDAY PASSPORT and she informed me on some major changes that one needs to do if one plans on traveling to Europe in the next couple of months and actually getting in or passing through Various European Countries.
As of mid-2025, if one Plans to travel to Europe from the United States of America, he or she needs an (ETIAS) European Travel Information and Authorization Visa Travel authorization. ETIAS is an electronic screening system that enhances security for short-term visitors in the European Union. This requirement applies to all US Citizens. Good thing, I was informed because according to SAMEDAY Passport, one cannot be able to board the flight until this authorization is filed.
It can take a couple of days to process, but I am not worried as SAMEDAY Passport will hook me up. Here is what you need to do, to start the Application process and SAMEDAY Passport will hook you up. Here is the 411 and tell them “Only Josie Knows” sent you.
Come in person to SAMEDAY Passport at 11022 Santa Monica BLVD. Suite 100, Los Angeles, CA 90025. They are open 7 days a week M-F (7am-5.30pm) & Sat, Sun 9 am -3 pm. Contact 310-914-1400
You must bring your physical Passport.
It’s a 5-10-minute process and it could take anywhere from 8 hours to 72 hours.
According to SAMEDAY Passport, make sure your passport should be valid for a minimum of 6 months, and it has two blank pages or else they won’t let you travel to another country.
If you plan on traveling outside of the United States of America, you must have a Valid Passport which is a travel document issued by the United Sates that entitles you to travel from one country to another. SAMEDAY Passports is here to help you expedite the process.
I am “Only Josie Knows” and I am here to walk you through the process of getting my (ETIAS) Visa. Stay tuned as I am starting the process for my trip to Nice, France. I am getting prepared so I will have no problems enjoying the 78 Cannes Film Festival. Stay Tuned!
