\"Eurostar
Eurostar carries passengers straight into Schengen, so ETIAS will apply once it launches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes. If you are a visa-exempt non-EU traveller heading to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam or Lille, your Eurostar trip will require ETIAS once the system goes live, because those cities are inside the Schengen zone. At the time of writing (October 2026), ETIAS is not yet running and no applications are being accepted.<\/strong> That includes British passport holders, who lost their automatic entry rights after Brexit. The \u20ac20 authorisation is checked at London St Pancras, so you need it before you even board.<\/p>\n

TL;DR:<\/strong> Eurostar trains from London run to Schengen countries, so non-EU visa-exempt passengers will need ETIAS when it starts operating. The EU will give several months’ notice of the start date. It costs \u20ac20, lasts three years, and is checked at the St Pancras terminal during the French or Belgian border control. If you are travelling only to London, you need a UK ETA, not ETIAS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
