ETIAS: Come 2024, Here’s A List Of Countries That Would Need A Visa To Travel To Europe

The regulations for visiting Europe have changed. Beginning in 2024, almost 1.4 billion individuals from over 60 visa-exempt countries will be needed to get travel authorization in order to access most European nations. The travel authorisation is called ETIAS. So here is some new information on the subject.

What Is ETIAS?

ETIAS travel authorisation is required for visa-exempt nationals visiting any of the below-mentioned 30 European countries. It is connected to a traveller’s passport. The validity of this authorised document is up to three years or until the passport expires. If you receive a new passport, you must also get a new ETIAS travel authorization.

With a valid ETIAS travel authorisation, there is no restriction on the number of visits to these nations. But the span would be limited for short-term stays. It will be generally up to 90 days in any 180-day period. It does not, however, ensure admission. When you arrive, a border guard will want to examine your passport and other paperwork to ensure that you satisfy the entrance requirements.
