Customs Decree: Required Documentation for Entry into the United States of Thessara
As the indispensable guarantor of regional security in the America’s, the United States of Thessara (UST) maintains strict, highly organized border enforcement protocols. Whether you are a diplomat arriving in Thessarapolis, a merchant vessel managing central mainframe cargo, or an immigrant looking to settle in one of the 28 states, your arrival must be accompanied by the proper digital and physical credentials.
To ensure frictionless clearance through Federal Customs and Border Protection, all incoming travelers must present the following mandatory documentation:
1. The Thessaran Electronic Travel Authorization (T-ETA)
A standard United Commonwealth visa will not grant you entry into the UST. All incoming foreign citizens, including those from neighboring regional powers, must hold an approved T-ETA. This digital pass must be linked to your national passport and submitted online via the Thessaran Federal Immigration Portal at least 72 hours before your scheduled departure.
2. Mainframe Clearance Token (For Digital Assets)
The UST enforces independent cybersecurity protocols separate from regional alliances. Travelers carrying advanced tech, corporate databases, or diplomatic comms gear must possess a Mainframe Access Token. This cryptographic pass allows UST border agents to verify that your hardware complies with our local cybersecurity and data-protection laws.
3. State-Specific Transit Manifests
Because the UST is a federal republic of 28 distinct states, your T-ETA must declare your exact internal itinerary. If your travel involves moving across state lines for business or relocation, you must carry a State-Specific Transit Manifest to ensure compliance with individual state labor, commerce, and tax regulations.
4. Independent Commerce and Resource Declarations
All cargo, trade goods, and diplomatic supplies must be logged on an independent Thessaran Customs Manifest. The UST does not recognize shared regional trade passes. Every resource entering our borders undergoes strict federal auditing to protect the stability of the Thessaran domestic market. Foreign citizens are allowed to carry up to €$ 10.000 / TC 14.200 on their person, anything above that must be declared in customs.
5. The Pan-American Fast-Track Framework (T-ETA Only)
Under the Western Hemisphere Border Simplification Act, the UST recognizes geographic proximity and regional integration. Citizens physically located within the Americas receive a streamlined entry process.
Travelers holding valid passports from the following sovereign American nations only require an approved T-ETA to clear customs:
Special Exemptions for Approved American Nations:
Exemption from State Manifests: Citizens from these nations are entirely exempt from presenting complex State-Specific Transit Manifests upon arrival. A single T-ETA grants blanket transit rights across all 28 states of Thessara.
Mainframe Clearance Waiver: Travelers from the Americas do not need to secure a cryptographic Mainframe Access Token for standard personal electronics, laptops, or basic corporate communication hardware. They may bypass specialized digital inspection queues.
Expedited Processing: Major UST international airports and maritime hubs maintain dedicated Pan-American Fast-Track Lanes for rapid, automated kiosk clearance.
Penalties for Unauthorized Entry into the United States of Thessara
Under Title 14 of the Thessaran Federal Code, crossing the border or entering UST airspace without an approved Thessaran Electronic Travel Authorization (T-ETA) is a severe federal offense.
The United States of Thessara enforces a strict, multi-tiered penalty system for all undocumented arrivals, illegal transits, and visa overstays:
1. Administrative Detention & Central Mainframe Flagging
Immediate Action: Violators are instantly detained at the point of entry by Federal Border Protection.
Mainframe Flagging: The traveler’s biometric data is permanently uploaded and flagged via CIVITAS in the Thessaran Central Mainframe. This creates an automatic, lifetime red-flag across all 28 states.
Duration: Detainment lasts until a federal immigration magistrate reviews the case, typically within 48 hours.
2. Mandatory Deportation and Long-Term Re-entry Bans
Expelled Status: Undocumented travelers face immediate, mandatory deportation to their nation of origin at their own expense (or the expense of their transport carrier).
Five-Year Ban: A standard unauthorized entry triggers an automatic 5-year ban from applying for any future T-ETA.
Permanent Ban: Aggravated infractions, such as attempting to bypass checkpoints or using forged documentation, result in a permanent, non-appealable lifetime ban from the UST.
3. Progressive Financial Fines
First-Time Infraction: A mandatory federal fine of 5,000 Eurodollars (or the foreign currency equivalent) is levied against the traveler.
Carrier Liability: Commercial airlines, shipping vessels, or regional transports that board a passenger without a valid T-ETA are fined 50,000 Eurodollars per undocumented individual.
Asset Seizure: The UST reserves the right to impound non-compliant merchant ships or private aircraft until all federal fines are paid in full.
4. Criminal Prosecution for Border Evasion
Federal Charges: Evading a customs checkpoint, hiding in cargo, or failing to declare a restricted Mainframe Clearance Token upgrades the offense from an administrative violation to a federal felony.
Incarceration: Convicted individuals face 6 to 24 months of mandatory labor or rehabilitation inside a Federal Correctional Facility, followed by immediate deportation upon release.
