ETIAS Europe

About

We provide updated information about the introduction and enforcing of ETIAS, with the latest announcements and news reports available. As of 2021, citizens from more than 60 countries which are currently part of the Schengen visa-waiver agreement (including Canada) will have to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) when travelling to Europe for tourism. This initiative has been discussed in the EU legislative framework and has the aim to optimize external border control around the Schengen Member States. In a coalition between ETIAS and EES (Entry-Exit System), the EU intends to dynamize its migration-related processes as well as reinforce internal security.
