ORIGINAL POSTER
The C.O.E. language is confusing me: does it matter when you apply for it or do you need to wait until 15 days left before you flight departure? I'd prefer to apply now for a flight July 15th.

If this has been asked before please give me link and I'll go there and delete this post.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on whether they need to wait until 15 days before their flight to apply for the Certificate of Entry (C.O.E.) for a flight scheduled on July 15. Comments indicate that one can apply earlier if they have confirmed travel plans and that the application process for the C.O.E. will officially open on June 28, though early submission of forms appears possible.

The COE website says applications for COE will be open starting June 28. But it also looks like you can go ahead and submit your forms now.
