Will You Need ETIAS to Travel to Europe Starting in 2025?
Planning a trip to Europe soon? Starting mid-2025, travelers from visa-exempt countries may need the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) to enter the Schengen Area.
ETIAS is not a visa but a travel authorization that screens travelers for security risks. This new system applies to 27 European countries, including popular destinations like France, Germany, and Italy.
Key Details About ETIAS
- Who Needs It? Citizens of visa-exempt countries like the U.S., Canada, and Australia for short stays (up to 90 days).
- How to Apply? Complete an online application in about 10 minutes, pay a €7 fee, and get approval within minutes or a few days.
- Why Was It Introduced? To enhance security, simplify border checks, and manage migration more effectively.
ETIAS approval will be valid for three years or until your passport expires, allowing multiple trips within that time.
What Should You Do Now?
For now, ETIAS isn’t required, but it’s worth staying informed if you’re planning to travel to Europe after mid-2025. Want to keep up with important updates like this? Visit Nomad Digs to learn more about travel requirements and plan your next adventure!
