Check your phone coverage abroad

INFO

You're travelling to Réunion (RE). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.

EU/EEA free movement - reside, work, and study, not just visit

INFO

Your NO citizenship gives you freedom of movement to this destination under EU Treaty rights and the EEA Agreement (Directive 2004/38/EC). This is more than visa-free entry: you may enter with a valid passport or national ID card, stay without a visa, and take up residence, employment, self-employment, or study with no permit. After three months you register with local authorities if the country requires it: automatic if you're working or self-employed, but if you're economically inactive (retired, studying, or otherwise not working) you must also hold comprehensive sickness insurance and sufficient resources so you don't become a burden on the host state (Directive 2004/38/EC, Article 7). Your spouse/registered partner and dependent family members can accompany or join you, including non-EU/EEA family members (who may need an entry visa but cannot be charged for the residence right itself). No onward or return ticket is required. This destination is part of the European Union but is outside the Schengen Area. Your free movement still applies in full. But there are border checks when you arrive, even from mainland Europe, and a Schengen visa is not valid here: a family member who is not an EU citizen and who needs a visa must hold one issued for this territory, not a Schengen visa.

Carry your passport or national ID - agents may apply generic rules

WARN

EU/EEA free movement is your right, but on mixed itineraries (a leg outside the area, a codeshare, or a non-EU carrier) check-in agents sometimes apply generic third-country rules and ask for a return ticket or proof of funds you do not need. Carry a valid passport or EU/EEA national ID card; if questioned, reference your EU/EEA citizenship and the right of free movement (Directive 2004/38/EC).
