WHAT IS ETIAS?



NOTICE:  UK travel authorizations will be required effective January 8th.


The European Union (EU) Will Soon Be Requiring a New Travel Authorization for Visitor Entry


Starting in 2025, travelers from over 60 visa-exempt countries will be required to have a travel authorization to visit most European countries.


In a Nutshell:

"ETIAS travel authorization is an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of these 30 European countries. It is linked to a traveler’s passport. It is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new ETIAS travel authorization.


With a valid ETIAS travel authorization, you can enter the territory of these European countries as often as you want for short-term stays - normally for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. However, it does not guarantee entry. When you arrive, a border guard will ask to see your passport and other documents and verify that you meet the entry conditions."

Your ETIAS check-list

  • Apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation well in advance – before you buy your ticket or book your accommodation

  • Make sure your passport details correspond to those in your ETIAS authorisation – you will be refused boarding and entry at the border if they do not match

  • Make sure your ETIAS travel authorisation is still valid

  • Check how long you can stay in the European countries requiring ETIAS

  • Make sure your passport is valid for three months after your intended departure from the European countries requiring ETIAS - you will be refused entry at the border if it is not (exceptions apply).
