ETIAS are in the news today 

ETIAS are the European equivalent of the USA ESTA

They are described as a visa waiver and if you are a British Citizen you will need to get one before you travel to a Schengen country in Europe from May 2023.  Unfortunately the actual start date has not yet been announced but we do know you will need to apply online and provide the following information.  

  • Personal information that includes the traveller’s full name, their date and place of birth, and their gender
  • Contact details including current address, email address, and phone number
  • Passport details including the passport number and country of issue, the date of issue, and the date of expiration
  • Travel plans such as which country travellers will enter and which other countries they intend on visiting

Once an ETIAS has been approved, it will be valid for a maximum period of 3 consecutive years, or until the traveller’s passport expires.

The ETIAS visa waiver will grant its holder the right to travel to and within the Schengen Zone for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

An approved ETIAS can be used to visit member states of the Schengen Area on multiple occasions.

ETIAS cannot be extended. This means that once it has expired, it will no longer be valid. The traveller will need to register online again, and obtain a new travel authorisation to visit the region.
​
You will have to pay for an ETIAS,  maybe £5.00-£10.00. 

All these rules apply to UK Passport holders.     

*The Schengen Area Countries are  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.
