NEW REQUIREMENT IMPACTS CRUISERS (ETIAS - what you NEED to know)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator explains the upcoming implementation of the European Travel Information and Authorization System, known as ETIAS, which will affect travelers to Europe starting in 2024. Although the European Union describes it as an electronic tracking system rather than a traditional visa, travelers must complete an online form providing passport details and their intended destinations before their trip. A critical requirement is that travelers must list their first point of entry into the European Union as the primary destination on the form. The creator notes that while most approvals are granted within minutes, those with suspicious information may face delays of up to two weeks. The system carries a small fee of 7.79 dollars per person for those aged 18 and older. Additionally, the creator highlights a rule regarding the length of stay, noting that travelers cannot exceed 90 days within a 180 day period in the covered countries. The video concludes by advising travelers to prepare in advance to avoid being denied boarding at the airport due to missing approval.
