Travel Tips and Resources
ETIAS
ETIAS, stands for European Travel Information and Authorization System.
The European Union (EU) developed ETIAS to help monitor travelers who might pose a security or migration risk. It will be in effect from mid-2025, offering streamlined travel procedures for low-risk individuals.
The ETIAS is a travel authorization system designed for visitors who don’t need a visa to enter European countries in the Schengen Area. This includes popular destinations like France, Italy, Spain, and Germany.
The ETIAS is for citizens of countries outside the EU that don’t require a visa for short visits.
For example, travelers from the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom will all need an ETIAS before authorization entering Schengen countries.
The ETIAS authorizes stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period for short-term visits. While it is easy to apply, travelers should submit their application several days in advance to avoid potential delays.
Full details and application for the ETIAS can be found online here.
