It is a pre-travel screening linked electronically to your passport: no embassy visits, no biometrics, no interviews.

Once approved, it allows unlimited short stays \u2014 up to 90 days in any 180-day period \u2014 for tourism, business, transit or medical visits.<\/p>\n<p>The system was created to strengthen European border security: every application is automatically checked against EU and Interpol security databases before the traveller ever boards a plane, ferry or coach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/europe-visa.eu\/what-is-etias\/\"><strong>Learn more about ETIAS \u2192<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"etias-timeline\">ETIAS Timeline: From Proposal to Launch<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead><tr><th>Date<\/th><th>Milestone<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>November 2016<\/td><td>European Commission proposes ETIAS<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>September 2018<\/td><td>ETIAS Regulation (EU) 2018\/1240 adopted<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>October 2025<\/td><td>Entry\/Exit System (EES) begins progressive rollout<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>April 2026<\/td><td>EES fully operational at all external borders<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Q4 2026<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>ETIAS launches \u2014 applications open<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>~2027<\/td><td>End of transitional grace period: ETIAS becomes mandatory for boarding<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>ETIAS has been postponed several times \u2014 it was originally planned for 2021, then 2023, 2024 and 2025 \u2014 mainly because it depends on the Entry\/Exit System (EES), which had to come first.
