Travelers visiting the EU will soon have to cope with yet another piece of paperwork.

Non-EU citizens, such as Americans, Australians, Brits, and others from outside the Schengen zone, will have to fill out a €7 application to enter the Schengen zone starting next year.

Citizens of these and many other nations are only allowed to spend 90 days in the EU every 180 days under the so-called “90 day rule.” They’ll require a visa if they stay any longer.

People will still be allowed to spend this amount of time within the EU, but the procedure will no longer be fully free of bureaucracy.

The new law, known as the ‘European Travel Information and Authorisation System,’ or ETIAS for short, intends to “improve security and help prevent health threats to the bloc.”

Who is eligible for the new EU visa waiver?

People who do not live permanently in an EU nation or who do not require a visa to visit one are affected by the new security measure.

Tourists, second-home owners, temporary employees, and people visiting family or friends in the Schengen zone should be aware of the situation.

The new ETIAS program is being compared to the ETA and ESTA visa waiver programs in Australia and the United States, both of which are utilized for short-term visits.

The regulations for people who need a Schengen visa, which includes the vast majority of African, Asian, and South American residents, will stay unchanged.
