Sounds like exactly what we all have to do to enter the US

[propergander]

Europeans had to get an ESTA on top of a visa (on arrival) when going to America since 2008, so it's only fair Europe reciprocate the hurdle 🤷‍♀

[michelle.goodridge]

This isn’t any different than ETA in Canada and ESTA in US that is required for non North American travellers and has been around for years. UK will also have this type of program for non residence.

ETIAS starts in 2025. EES starts 6 October bio metrics face and fingerprints.

Seems every travel you tube channel is churning out these new ETIAS videos - do you all just watch each other and churn out the same information, nothing new. Your title alludes to this being something more immediate - not a whole year away (and even then who knows), might have saved everyone a whole lot of worry by leading with 2025 !!


You also need to update your map - its out of date and you should know this. Croatia joined the Schengen zone last year, Romania and Hungary joined this year.

[gideonb]

Yeah i mean its like ESTA or ETA for USA or Canada....

[kathrynhart]

ETIAS doesn't go into effect until 2025. You can sign up on their website to get email updates

[akay]

Yes, well, people have been paying for an ESTA to enter the U.S for YEARS, including Europeans. The price keeps going up 😒

[raspucin]

nah man, you dont have to do any of that. Just show up in a dhingy, you dont even need a passport

[TravellerCityGuide]

europe is one of the best place for vacation
i love the food
best sights ever
Love it

[giovanniserafino]

I’m a dual citizen American/Italian and have both an American and Italian ( European Union) passport. None of this applies to me. I simply enter and exit European Union countries with that passport, nothing else is required of me.

[Currito]

EU is applying the same rule that USA is applying to them for so many years

[ropro]

Lol, you could have led with 'not until 2025', but then I guess we wouldn't have watched the whole video. 😆 Thanks for the heads up and advice in any case! 🙏

[The_Red_Squirrel]

ETIAS is not being introduced until 2025. It is very similar to what the USA introduced back in 2008.

[keithss]

Originally it was going to be 2023. Then 2024. Now it’s 2025. It’s idiotic

[EarthSoulsAstrology]

This is a huge privacy concern. They wanted to implement digital id like their mates in China and the eu are about to do it

[christinamastroianni]

It was supposed to be 2024... hopefully they keep pushing it back 🤣
Another thing to be mindful of is new countries joining the Schengen agreement. We just took a big 8 month trip. We had both been to Croatia years before and also double checked it wasn't a part of the agreement when we started planning in November 2022. Come 2023 when we're on our trip planning what's next, book two weeks in Croatia, only to realize weeks later that it's now Schengen as of January 2023. We ended up overstaying our Schengen visa by accident 🤦

[sandman]

Stopped listening. Can't stand it when someone purposely drags out the getting to the point. This was 30 seconds of information, stretched to fill 3 minutes. If you don't have anything to say, stop talking.

[tachluggage]

Thank you! Good info. Living in Madrid right now and the Spanish government lost my renewal resident visa application. I'm coming and going for the time being wondering when this is going to start as they have new bio metric machine at customs. They do not use them yet, but I was wondering if they would be part of the ETIAS process.

[carlaportier]

ETIAS for Americans is litterally ESTA for french people. Could make things faster at the custom.
