ETIAS is not yet in operation: as of October 2026, no applications are being accepted.<\/strong> The EU has not yet announced the start date of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System and will do so several months in advance. P\u00ebrmbledhje e ETIAS e Komisionit Evropian<\/a> states that the fee will be \u20ac20 (set by Regulation (EU) 2025\/1411) and the validity three years, or until your passport expires. This guide walks Indian travellers through each step \u2014 from gathering documents, to filling in the online form, to clearing the Schengen border.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the rules feel new only because India citizens previously enjoyed visa-free travel for short stays. Specifically, ETIAS is not a visa \u2014 it is a pre-screening authorisation, similar to the United States ESTA or the UK Electronic Travel Authorisation. Once ETIAS launches, most applications are expected to be processed within minutes. If manual review is needed, a decision is due within four days, which can be extended by up to 14 days if more information is requested, or up to 30 days if you are invited to an interview.<\/p>\n

ETIAS is a mandatory pre-travel authorisation that Indian citizens must hold before boarding any flight, ferry, train or bus into Europe once the system launches. The EU has not yet announced the start date and will do so several months in advance. The Indian ETIAS permit costs \u20ac20, stays valid for three years (or until your India passport expires), and grants multiple short-stay entries of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.<\/strong> The system will cover 30 European countries: the Schengen area plus Cyprus. Every Indian traveller should apply well in advance, ideally before buying tickets or booking accommodation, as the EU advises.<\/p>\n

ETIAS Cost and Fees for India Passport Holders<\/h2>\n

The Indian ETIAS application fee is \u20ac20 per applicant (EU Council, 1 January 2026), payable online with a payment card on the official ETIAS portal. Children under 18 and adults over 70 are exempt from the fee, although they must still submit an application. There are no service charges, taxes or hidden costs from the EU.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, Indian families can budget realistically: a couple travelling with two adult children pays \u20ac80 total for ETIAS coverage that lasts up to three years.
