princevaliantus Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 US citizens traveling to Europe will shortly need to apply fo an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) visa which is the new travel visa to visit Europe that will come into effect from 2021. Similar to other countries and regions in the world Europe has recently decided to improve their security level to avoid any further problems with illegal migration and terrorism. This means that from 2021, ALL American citizens traveling to a European Schengen-zone country will be in need of an ETIAS.

Fuzzywuzzy Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 And then we should do the same if we aren't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoC Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 The US already does the same. The European system is based on the American ESTA. Neither are visas since they only apply to citizens of countries that do not require a visa to enter (visa waivers). They are more like background checks you do prior to travel. If you need a visa due to your citizenship or reason for entry to the country today you will not use this system and will still need to get a visa.
