Eight things you need to know about ETIAS
If you come from one of the visa-free countries listed before, as of mid-2025 you will need to get a travel authorisation to enter any of the 30 European countries requiring ETIAS.
- a passport valid for more than 3 months
- an email address
- to fill out an online form
- to pay a 7€ fee
With a valid ETIAS travel authorisation, you will be able to stay in any of the 30 European countries for 90 days in any 180-day period.
Or until the passport you used in the application expires, whichever comes first. You can use it for multiple entries.
If your ETIAS is refused, revoked, or annulled. The appeals will be handled by the authorities of the European countries requiring ETIAS.
You will apply for an ETIAS online, you do not need to go to a Consulate, your biometric data will not be collected, and it will be much faster and cheaper than getting the Schengen visa.
Similar travel authorisations are required by the United States, Canada, and Australia.
We will inform you when we have more information about when the systems enters into operation.
