Travelling to Europe in 2025? There's a new application and fee to be mindfully of
Yes, that's correct. As of 2025, travelers from non-EU countries will need to obtain an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) authorization before traveling to the Schengen Area. The ETIAS is a new EU travel authorization system that will be implemented on November 23, 2023, and will become mandatory for all non-EU citizens on November 23, 2025.
To apply for an ETIAS authorization, travelers will need to complete an online form and pay a fee of €7. The authorization will be valid for three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
The ETIAS application process is designed to be quick and easy, and most applications will be approved within minutes. However, travelers are advised to apply for their ETIAS authorization well in advance of travel, as it may take up to 30 days to process applications in some cases.
The ETIAS authorization is not a visa, and it does not guarantee entry into the Schengen Area. However, it is a requirement for all non-EU citizens traveling to the Schengen Area, and travelers who do not have a valid ETIAS authorization may be denied entry.
Here are some tips for applying for an ETIAS authorization:
- Apply well in advance of travel.
- Make sure you have a valid passport.
- Be prepared to provide personal information, such as your name, date of birth, and nationality.
- Pay the application fee.
- Review your application carefully before submitting it.
