NEWS FLASH


The European Union has once again delayed the implementation of its travel authorisation program known as ETIAS, which will impact some 1.4 billion people from over sixty visa-exempt countries, including those from the former Yugoslavia, for entry into its 27 member states, as well as Norway, Switzerland and Iceland. Originally planned for implementation in 2019, the authorisation has been pushed back each year and its new start date has now been moved for mid-2025. Citizens from all countries that enjoy visa-free travel with the EU will be obligated to register online once every three years prior to travelling and pay a seven-euro fee. It is important to note that ETIAS is not a visa. ETIAS is linked to a traveller’s passport. It is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If an individual gets a new passport, they will need to get a new ETIAS travel authorisation. It involves filling up a form online and paying the fee after which authorisation should be issued within minutes.

    Let's be real, this is a money grab by EU bureaucrats to pay for their massive spending that is getting out of control.

      Actually it is being introduced to pay for the financial hole left by the UK leaving the EU. At one point, in the beginning, they even said that was the purpose.

      That's exactly my point. They need to make EU budget to fit new reality without UK income.

      @14.05, well if you read the article it is being delayed until at least mid 2025 so I don't know how it is financing the war.

      They don’t do next to nothing! I thoroughly disagree. They do a lot to make life more miserable for the rest of us! In doing that, they are most successful.

      If EU would so desperately need money, they wouldn't plan to charge 7€ for etias, it would be more.

      ^ multiply that by how many people enter the EU. If it didn't need money, it wouldn't charge at all.

    Totally not a visa. And yes, I am aware a lot of other countries have similar arrangements. But it is a visa for all intents and purposes, just digitalized - the EU is just saving on paper and glue since they don't have to stick anything in your passport.

      Ok, so based on your theory all EU countries that have visa free travel to the US actually do need a visa since they all have to apply for ESTA, which is exactly the same thing- the US is just saving on paper and glue since they don't have to stick anything in your passport.

      Then I would assume you never had to apply for "20th century" visa as it involves paperwork, usually lots of money, chasing up bank account confirmations, scanning old passport visas etc and a long waiting time. This is nothing like it.

    This is ridiculous, why would they prolonged it again?? There's bunch of countries with electronic authorisations and it's really not a big deal for those who want to enter such countries without visa.

    This delaying of etias is about as unnecessary as insisting on Greek's paper IDs.

    ETIAS is not a visa. Its a visa waiver. The countries that have similar scheme like USA, Australia, Canada, Korea, soon in Great Britain, etc, also have regular visa. it's for made easy and safer control for all. Still some countries requires a regular visa. Maybe, some called it a money for the bureaucrats in the EU, but where go the money to the above mentioned countries, same?

    In the near future, there are only three ways you could enter the Schengen/EU area ( legally of course ). With a EU passport, with ETIAS or with a visa. You choose, take it or leave it
