European Union regulation
What Is ETIAS?
ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) is an automated security system introduced by the European Commission to control access to the Schengen area. It is an electronic travel authorisation, not a visa: no embassy appointment, interview, or physical stamp is required. ETIAS does not remove your visa exemption, it adds a prior digital check on top of it.
Validity and length of stay
ETIAS is valid for 3 years (or until your passport expires) and allows unlimited entries. You may stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period, whether for tourism, business, or transit.
Passport-linked
Your authorisation is electronically linked to your passport. If you change passports, your ETIAS becomes void, and you will need to submit a new application.
Countries covered
ETIAS covers 30 European countries (the Schengen area and Cyprus). Ireland is not included.
Restrictions
ETIAS does not allow long-term work or study. These situations require a specific visa.
Important Note: Days spent in Cyprus are counted separately and do not count against your 90-day Schengen quota.
Who Needs an ETIAS to Travel to Europe?
Airlines, ferry operators, and rail carriers check your ETIAS before boarding for the Schengen area. This requirement applies to all citizens exempt from a Schengen visa (nationals of the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and others). Since Brexit, British citizens are subject to this same rule as third-country nationals.
Tourism
Holidays and family visits.
Business Travel
Conferences, meetings, and business appointments.
Transit
Stopovers en route to another country.
Travelling With Minors
Each child must hold their own individual authorisation.
Important Note: Citizens of the European Union, the EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), Switzerland, and holders of a standard Schengen visa or European residence permit are not affected.
Security and Data Protection
Every application submitted through our platform undergoes a thorough review. Our verification technology automatically detects typos, transposed passport numbers, and inconsistent data, eliminating the leading causes of refusal.
Your personal information is protected with end-to-end encryption. To safeguard your privacy, your payment details are deleted immediately after payment confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions: ETIAS Europe
ETIAS is not a visa. It is a pre-travel authorisation reserved for travellers already exempt from a visa. If your nationality requires a standard visa, or if your stay exceeds 90 days (for work or study), you must apply for a visa at an embassy. ETIAS is obtained entirely online, with no consular appointment required.
No. The first country you enter is used only to assess your application. Once your ETIAS is approved, you may travel freely among all 30 participating countries.
These are two distinct but related systems. The EES (Entry/Exit System) electronically records the entries and exits of third-country travellers at every physical border crossing. ETIAS, on the other hand, is the pre-travel authorisation that visa-exempt nationals must obtain before departure. Neither replaces the other: ETIAS determines whether you can board, while the EES applies afterward at each physical border crossing.
Yes. Since the United Kingdom left the European Union, holders of a British passport are subject to the same requirements as other visa-exempt travellers.
