The idea of ETIAS was first introduced in April 2016 and initially, the EU and Schengen member states had wanted to launch it in 2020, but they have now pushed the commencement to November 2023. </p> <p>The concept of ETIAS is similar to the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) imposed by the USA – in the sense that both systems add a layer of scrutiny to visitors who currently don’t need a visa or are under the ‘Visa Waiver Program’.</p> <p>In other words, ETIAS is only applicable to visitors who currently <strong>don’t</strong> need a visa to visit any of the Schengen member states. At present, there are 59 countries or territories whose nationals can visit any of the Schengen member states without a visa – you can see the full list under the header ‘Nationals who need to apply for ETIAS’ below.</p> <p>Please note that ETIAS is <strong>not</strong> the same as a Schengen visa. For nationals who need to apply for a Schengen visa, they should continue to do so. We will expand on this point later.</p> <div class="related_image" style="padding-bottom:10px"> <img alt="Tourists looking at St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City" src="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/shu-VaticanCity-StPeters_1418199008-430.jpg" class="img-responsive 21978"> <p><span>Tourists in Vatican City</span>Shutterstock</p> </div> <h3>Countries that require ETIAS</h3> <p>Countries that require visitors to apply for ETIAS are the 26 Schengen member countries, namely Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Please note that four of them (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) are not part of the EU but are associate members of the Schengen Area.</p> <p>Then there are five EU countries which aren’t part of the Schengen Area – Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland and Romania. It is expected that they will also require visitors to apply for ETIAS in the future.</p> <p>In addition, there are four countries – Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and Vatican City – that are not part of the Schengen Area or European Union, but because they are located within an EU country, they have opened their borders to visitors with a Schengen visa. They too, are expected to impose ETIAS in the future.</p> <div class="related_image" style="padding-bottom:10px"> <img alt="A tourist in Lisbon, Portugal" src="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/shu-Portugal-Lisbon_797413888-430.jpg" class="img-responsive 22034"> <p><span>A traveller in Lisbon, Portugal</span>Shutterstock</p> </div> <h3>Nationals who need to apply for ETIAS</h3> <p>Anyone who currently can visit any of the Schengen member countries without a Schengen visa will need to apply for ETIAS when the system is in place.

However, applicants below the age of 18 do not need to pay the fee.</p> <p>The process is expected to take about 15 minutes for applicants to complete online.</p> <div class="related_image" style="padding-bottom:10px"> <img alt="A tourist in Budapest, Hungary" src="https://www.worldtravelguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/shu-Hungary-Budapest-Tourists_1346735663-430.jpg" class="img-responsive 21979"> <p><span>A tourist in Budapest, Hungary</span>Shutterstock</p> </div> <h3>ETIAS validity and fees</h3> <p>Once issued, ETIAS will allow its holder to stay in 26 Schengen countries for a period of up to 90 days in a 180-day period. The authorisation is valid for three (3) years from the date of issue or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.</p> <h3>Is ETIAS the same as a Schengen visa?</h3> <p>No. ETIAS is an authorisation, not a visa. </p> <p>ETIAS is for non-European visitors (like Americans, Australians, Brazilians, Japanese, Malaysians and Singaporeans, among others) who can currently enter all Schengen countries without a visa. When ETIAS is in place, these visitors will need to apply for ETIAS before travelling.</p> <p>A Schengen visa is for visitors from a country that requires a visa to visit any of the Schengen member states and the process is not affected by ETIAS.</p> <p>For more information about a Schengen visa, please follow the link to the article <a href="/features/feature/a-guide-to-schengen-visas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>A guide to Schengen visas</strong></a>.</p> <h3>When can you start applying?</h3> <p>The ETIAS online application process isn’t available yet, but we will announce it here when it is ready.
