The video discusses how non-EU passport holders are limited to 90 days of travel within the Schengen zone within a 180 day period, and suggests using apps and websites to track time and find countries outside the zone to visit. They recommend checking visa requirements for those countries and using an online tool called Sherpa. Countries such as Romania, Montenegro, and Albania are suggested to visit outside of the Schengen area. The video also mentions the upcoming European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) that will be implemented in 2023, requiring travelers to fill out a short application to enter a Schengen country, costing 7 euros for a three-year period. The purpose of the ETIAS is to increase safety and trust in international travel.
