European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS)
The launch of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), which has been postponed several times now, is unlikely to be postponed another time, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
This means that travellers should prepare to apply for an ETIAS authorisation starting from mid-2024.
While the EU has undertaken a few steps to inform citizens of third countries who will need an ETIAS in the future and several more are planned for the following months, regarding the system, application procedures, fees, and more, travellers still remain confused about how ETIAS is going to affect them, and what’s its purpose.
