🇪🇺 The European Union is introducing its own electronic travel authorization system – ETIAS.
Similar to the U.S. ESTA or UK ETA, it will soon become mandatory for travelers from visa-exempt non-EU countries (such as the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan…) entering the Schengen Area.
📅 Expected launch: End of 2026 (approximately 6 months after EES)
💶 Fee: €7
🕒 Validity: 3 years
Applications will only be available via the official ETIAS website or mobile app ➡️ travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en
If your company hosts employees or business visitors from these countries, now is the time to prepare.
