Every visa-exempt traveller entering Schengen countries must hold an individual authorisation, from a newborn to a grandparent. There is no minimum age, and border officers check a baby&#8217;s ETIAS against the passport just as they do for adults.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This trips up parents who assume infants \u201ctravel on the parent&#8217;s documents\u201d. That stopped being true across the EU years ago. The European Union states clearly on its <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-europe.europa.eu\/etias\/who-should-apply_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who-should-apply page<\/a> that all nationals of visa-free countries need an authorisation. A three-month-old flying from Toronto to Paris needs one just as much as the parents do. The age rule is simple: there is no lower age limit, so a baby needs ETIAS from the day they are born.<\/p>\n<h2>Do babies and children pay the ETIAS fee?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i2.jpg\" alt=\"A young family with small children and suitcases waiting to board a flight to Europe\" class=\"wp-image-4405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i2.jpg 940w, https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i2-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption>A young family with small children and suitcases waiting to board a flight to Europe (Photo: Lorna Pauli, Pexels)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>No \u2014 babies and children do not pay the ETIAS fee. The \u20ac20 charge is waived for every applicant under 18 (and over 70), so a family pays only for members aged 18 to 70. Once ETIAS launches, a couple travelling with two young children will pay \u20ac40 in total, not \u20ac80, because both kids are exempt. In practice, each child simply adds one free application to your family&#8217;s paperwork.<\/strong> The fee was raised from the originally planned \u20ac7 to \u20ac20 by Regulation (EU) 2025\/1411.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it is free, the application is not optional. You still complete the full form for each child and receive a separate approval.

The EU phased out the old practice of adding children to a parent&#8217;s passport, so even a newborn must have a personal document before you apply.<\/strong> The ETIAS attaches to that passport number electronically, not to the parents&#8217; records. Booking a first infant passport can take several weeks in peak season, and some countries require both parents to consent in person. Start that process before anything else, because you cannot apply for the baby&#8217;s ETIAS without it.<\/p>\n<p>Plan the passport first, because it is the slow part. A UK child passport, for example, stays valid for 5 years in 2026, far shorter than an adult&#8217;s ten-year book. Check the expiry against your travel dates using our <a href=\"https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/passport-validity-rules-for-europe-2026\/\">passport validity rules<\/a>. If you renew a child&#8217;s passport, the old ETIAS no longer works \u2014 you apply again against the new number.<\/p>\n<h2>How to apply for ETIAS for a baby, step by step<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i4.jpg\" alt=\"A parent completing an online travel authorisation form on a laptop while holding a baby\" class=\"wp-image-4407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i4.jpg 940w, https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i4-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/etias-baby-i4-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption>A parent completing an online travel authorisation form on a laptop while holding a baby (Photo: Kampus Production, Pexels)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>To apply for ETIAS for a baby, a parent or legal guardian completes the online form on the child&#8217;s behalf, enters the baby&#8217;s passport details, answers the background questions, and submits it for free.

If you renew the infant&#8217;s passport later \u2014 common, since children&#8217;s documents expire fast \u2014 the old approval dies with it and you must reapply before you fly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Filling in forms one-handed with a baby is nobody&#8217;s idea of fun. Once the official EU portal opens, you will apply there directly. Take a moment to check every family member&#8217;s passport details before you submit. Applicants aged 18 to 70 will pay \u20ac20, and children remain free.<\/p>\n<h2>ETIAS for infants: frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Does a newborn baby need ETIAS?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. There is no minimum age. A newborn from a visa-exempt country needs a separate ETIAS, linked to their own passport, before entering the Schengen area once ETIAS starts operating.<\/p>\n<h3>Is ETIAS free for babies?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The \u20ac20 fee is waived for every applicant under 18, so a baby&#8217;s ETIAS costs nothing. You still complete a full application for the child.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I add my baby to my own ETIAS?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Each traveller needs a separate ETIAS tied to their own passport. There is no family or group application, and no adding a child to a parent&#8217;s authorisation.<\/p>\n<h3>Does my baby need their own passport?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The EU no longer allows children to travel on a parent&#8217;s passport, so your baby needs an individual biometric passport before you can apply for ETIAS.<\/p>\n<h3>Who fills in the ETIAS application for a baby?<\/h3>\n<p>A parent or legal guardian completes the form on the child&#8217;s behalf and confirms their own details in the section asking who is applying for the minor.<\/p>\n<h3>How long is a baby&#8217;s ETIAS valid?<\/h3>\n<p>Three years, or until the child&#8217;s passport expires \u2014 whichever comes first. Because children&#8217;s passports expire quickly, the passport date is often the limit.<\/p>\n<h3>Do babies count towards the 90-day Schengen limit?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. A baby&#8217;s days in the Schengen area count under the 90-days-in-180 rule exactly like an adult&#8217;s, even though the authorisation is free.<\/p>\n<h3>How does ETIAS work for babies in 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>It works exactly like an adult\u2019s, with one difference: it is free. Once ETIAS starts, a guardian will apply online for each child, link it to the baby\u2019s passport and receive an approval valid for 3 years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.<\/p>\n<p><em>Disclaimer: europe-visa.eu is an independent information website.
