All students traveling without a parent/guardian present must have parent/guardian signatures on a Medical Release Form, Release for Minors Traveling Abroad, and the Standards of Conduct. 

These forms must be signed prior to trip's departure and can be done so online. Once you have completed the initial registration for the trip, you will be directed to the forms. 

If you have any questions regarding their contact please do not hesitate to contact Dream Travel. 

Starting 2024, US passport holders (and passport holders not within the Schengen Area) will be required to apply with the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS)- similar to applying for a travel visa, but more of a travel authorization. 

This authorization allows you to stay within The Schengen Area for up to 90-days within a 180-day period. It will be valid for 3-years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. 

The process will be fairly simple and can be completed online. There will be a registration form, and you will have to upload a valid passport. There will also be a small processing fee (no more than $10). Once the application is submitted for screening, you will receive a result within 4-days of applying. Typically, you should receive an approved ETIAS, but in rare cases if it is denied, the email will specify why it was denied and how to apply again. 

This authorization will be put in place for safety and security concerns and to limit irregular migration into The Schengen Area. 

As of now, there is no way to apply for the authorization. Dream-Travel will monitor the website beginning in January 2024 and we will communicate with our groups on how to apply and proceed. 

In the meantime, we urge everyone to apply for their passport as quickly as possible so that when the time comes, there is no delay in applying for an ETIAS.
