The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is a planned electronic authorisation system of the European Union for visa-exempt visitors travelling to the Schengen Area, as well as Cyprus. It is scheduled to come into force in the last quarter of 2026, approximately a year after implementation of the Entry/Exit System (EES). The application fee will be €20 (increased from the originally planned €7) for travellers between ages 18 and 70. Authorisations will be valid for three years or until the expiry date of the passport, whichever comes first.
According to the European Commission, ETIAS is planned to be implemented "for the identification of security, irregular migration or high epidemic risks posed by visa-exempt visitors." It is not a vis and it does not guarantee entry.
ETIAS was first proposed by the European Commission in 2016 and was formally established by Regulation (EU) 2018/1240 of the European Parliament and of the European Council of 12 September 2018. Due to various reasons, including difficulties in integrating different member states' national systems into a central database, the implementation date has been repeatedly delayed from January 2021.
