EU ETIAS travel authorisation

Understand the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), who it applies to and what travellers should prepare.

Launch timing: The European Union currently says ETIAS will start operations in the last quarter of 2026. The specific launch date has not yet been announced.

What is ETIAS?

ETIAS is a travel authorisation for eligible visa-exempt travellers visiting participating European countries. It is not a visa and is not a residence permit.

What will applicants need?

The official EU information says applicants will need a qualifying travel document, personal information, travel information and a payment card. The application also asks for certain education, occupation, travel-history and security-related information.

Official ETIAS fee

The EU states that the ETIAS application fee is EUR 20, with exemptions including certain applicants under 18 or over 70. Check the official EU website for the latest rules before applying.
