ETIAS is coming for Schengen entry — heads-up

INFO

The EU is introducing ETIAS, a pre-travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors to the Schengen Area (like the US ESTA) (about €20), valid 3 years. It is NOT required yet — expected to start around Q4 2026, phased toward 2027 (after a transitional period of at least 6 months). Dates have slipped before, so confirm the current status at the official portal: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en. Once live you'll need it before boarding on a visa-exempt passport. If you also hold an EU/EEA/Swiss passport, entering on that avoids ETIAS entirely.
