Headed To Europe Next Year?

Everything you need to know about ETIAS:

Europe's new visa waiver system

The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is an online visa waiver program that is expected to come into effect by November 2023. This system will pre-check the data of travellers before they enter countries in the Shengen zone, enhancing security and making border procedures more efficient, and therefore waiting times shorter.

ETIAS will be valid for 3 years after approval and is applicable for short-term stays of up to 90 days for tourism, transit or business. Citizens from over 50 eligible countries, including Australia, will need to complete the online application and obtain an approved ETIAS visa waiver. The process should take minutes and is likely to cost 7 Euros.
