The ETIAS will be required next spring and once approved will be valid for three years Traveling will be a little more expensive as more fees are emerging in different destinations. Now, European authorities have announced the implementation of the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), a platform where most non-European visitors will have to register and pay a 7 euros fee (around $7.50) to enter any of the 26 European countries included in the program.
This new measure applies to US citizens and other 62 nationalities that usually don’t need visas for tourism but will need to supply an online application starting in May 2023.
It is now a new idea, it has been suggested since 2016, but now, due to the increasing amount of tourists in the region, local authorities have decided to implement it soon.
Other destinations like Venice, have also announced that the new registration system will be implemented soon and travelers will have to book and pay a fee in advance to visit the iconic Italian place.
